Eight daunomycin analogues, all differing from the parent by one structural change in the aglycon portion of the molecule, as well as four anthracycline congeners modified in the aminosugar were studied. Double-reciprocal plots were used todetermine overall binding affinities (K). It was shown that structural changes in both the aglycon and amino sugar portions of the daunomycin molecule strongly modulated K values for DMPC and DPPC bilayers. For modifications in the aglycon portion of an anthracycline, a correlation between drug hydrophobicity and membrane affinity was observed. The number of binding sites per phospholipid molecule () and the apparent association constant (Kipp), where K= nKipp, were determined at several temperatures for adriamycin, daunomycin, and carminomycin. The n values were found to be independent of temperature for fluid-phase DMPC or solid-phase DPPC bilayers. The ifapp values (25 C) ranged from (0.82-4.4) X 105 M_1 for DMPC vesicles to (4.4-7.3) X 105 M-1 for DPPC vesicles. Although the Kipp values for the three drugs were similar for a particular bilayer, major differences were noted in the values of n and, therefore, in the overall vesicle affinities (). van’t Hoff plots showed that anthracycline binding was exothermic; in all cases but one binding was accompanied by a decrease in entropy. Published data on cellular transport and in vitro cytotoxicities of the anthracyclines appear to correlate with the K values measured here. The dependence of K values as well as thermodynamic parameters on drug structure and bilayer type indicates that the cell surface membrane could serve as a prime target for improving the cytotoxic selectivity of the anthracyclines. e anthracycline antitumor antibiotics are an important class of agents used in the treatment of human cancer. Nu-merous reviews concerning the chemistry and pharmacology of the anthracyclines have appeared (Arcamone, 1981; Young et al., 1981; Gianni et al., 1983). Adriamycin, the most widely used congener of this series, has been shown to influence many properties of cellularmembranes and model membrane systems [see Tritton & Hickman (1985) for a review]. The importance of these membrane changes to the cytotoxic action of adriamycin compared to its ability to interfere with the DNA of the cell, considered the classical paradigmfor the mechanism of action, has not been clearly established. The strongest evidence that the cell surface membrane is a primary target for adriamycin comes from experiments with polymer immobilized drug (Tritton & Yee, 1982; Wingard & Tritton, 1983; Wingard et al., 1983; Tokes et al., 1982; Rogers et al., 1983), where the nonpenetrating form of adriamycin was shown to be 2-3 orders of magnitude more potent than an equimolar concentration of free drug. Although it has been shown that the drug can exert its biological activity solely by a plasma membrane interaction, the more difficult problem of the molecular mechanism remains unsolved. The anthracyclines are amphipathic molecules consisting of an aglycon (a red-pigmented, dihydroxyanthraquinone nucleus) linked through a glycosidic bondto an amino sugar tThis research …
