The duocarmycins (1 and 2) 1 belong to a small family of natural products (Figure 1) that also include yatakemycin (3) 2 and CC-1065 (4). 3 Their exceptionally potent cytotoxic activity is derived from their ability to bind and alkylate DNA in AT-rich regions of the minor groove. 4-8 This family of natural products incorporates a remarkable set of molecular features integrated into compact structures capable of simultaneously expressing multiple functions. 9 Much like their predecessors distamycin and netropsin, the overall curvature and shape of the molecules lead to their preferential binding in the narrower, deeper, AT-rich minor groove where stabilizing van der Waals contacts are maximized (shape-selective recognition). 8-11 The alkylation subunit vinylogous amide conveys a remarkable stability to a cross-conjugated and otherwise reactive cyclopropane. We have suggested that the disruption of this vinylogous amide conjugation by way of a DNA minor groove binding-induced conformational change brings the cyclopropane into conjugation with the cyclohexadienone, activating it for nucleophilic attack, and provides the catalysis for the DNA alkylation reaction (shape-dependent catalysis, Figure 2). 8, 12, 13 Significantly, these compounds are relatively unreactive until they reach their biological target, where they are selectively activated for DNA alkylation (target-based activation). 14 Unique to this class, this activation occurs without a chemical change or reaction of the molecule. Rather, it occurs simply through a binding-induced conformational change in the compound. Studies that define the key relationships between structure and reactivity and quantitate the magnitude of these effects are detailed herein.Just as important as their unique method of activation is a parabolic relationship between intrinsic reactivity and biological potency that has emerged from studying the natural products and numerous synthetic analogues (Figure 3). 15 Presumably this reflects the requirement for sufficient stability for the compounds to reach their biological target balanced against the need for sufficient reactivity to efficiently alkylate DNA once they do. Establishment of this parabolic relationship defined what this optimal balance of reactivity and stability is for this class of natural products, and key studies designed to define this parabolic relationship and exploit
