Abstract

• 5H-Pyridophenoxazin-5-one (PPH), a new anticancer iminoquinone, is able to inhibit a large number of lymphoblastoid and solid-tumor derived cells at submicromolar concentrations. Molecular modeling calculations indicated that this compound might intercalate into DNA double strand. This was also supported by nuclear magnetic resonance studies. Since free radicals arising from anticancer quinonic drugs have been proposed to be key species responsible for the DNA cleavage, we have endeavored in a study aimed to intercept and identify free radicals from PPH generated in bioreductive conditions. The first and second mono-electronic reduction potential of PPH were measured by means of cyclic voltammetry: the reduction potential of PPH is compatible with its reduction by such compounds as NADH, and suggested that reduction of PPH may play a role in its cytotoxicity. The radical anion PPH·- was detected by means of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and its identification was supported by DFT calculations. EPR experiments in the presence of the spin traps 5,5-dimethylpyrroline N-oxide and 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-pyrroline N-oxide suggested the occurrence of an electron transfer between the radical anion of the drug and oxygen resulting in the formation of the superoxide anion (O2·-). The enthalpy of the reaction of PPH·- with O2 was determined both in the gas phase and in solution at the B3LYP/6-31+G* level using the isodensity PCM method, and the overall process in dimethylsulfoxide was predicted as slightly exothermic. We propose that the mono-electronic reduction of PPH in close proximity to DNA may eventually lead to radicals that could cause considerable damage to DNA, thus accounting for the high cytotoxic activity of the drug. Indeed a comet assay (alkaline single cell electrophoresis) showed that PPH causes free radical induced DNA damage. (literal)
