Popis: — The 1,4-diamino-substituted anthraquinones mitoxantrone and ametantrone do not photosensitize DNA damage following illumination with visible light. In contrast, both the 1,5- and 1,8-bis[[(diethylamino)ethyl]amino]anthraquinones, AMI and AM2 respectively, sensitized DNA single-strand break formation in closed-circular plasmid DNA upon exposure to visible light. The presence of an electron donor such as NADH is required in the case of AMI, and enhances the effect with AM2. At increasing DNA base pair to drug ratios the rate of oxygen consumption decreased rapidly suggesting that the drug photosensitizing properties are lost upon binding or intercalation into DNA. A direct correlation between oxygen consumption, NADH oxidation and extent of DNA damage was established at different DNA base pair to drug ratios.
