Fluorescence quenching was used to study the interactions of DNA [calf thymus, Micrococcus luteus, Clostridium perfringens], in the presence and absence of metal ions, with the following bleomycin (BLM) [antineoplastic drug] analogs: the active BLM A2, BLM B1'', talisomycin A (TLM A), desamido-BLM A2, the 3 less active BLM A2 analogs with a substitution at the .alpha.-amino group of the .beta.-aminoalanine [methylsulfonamido-BLM A2, benzylsulfonamido-BLM A2, dansylsulfonamido-BLM A2], and the 2 inactive TLM fragments (Wa and Wb). All drugs showed a nonionic type DNA-induced fluorescence quenching of 20-30% but varied in the extent of the ionic type of quenching as follows: TLM A, Wa and Wb, 50-60%; BLM A2, 20-25%; BLM B1'' and desamido-BLM A2, < 10%; the 3 .alpha.-amino-substituted BLM A2 analogs, 0%. There is no apparent correlation of the overall DNA breakage activity of drugs with the extent of either type of quenching. DNA-drug interactions as seen by quenching effects are not sufficient for breakage activity. The modification of the .alpha.-amino group completely eliminated the ionic quenching and reduced the nonionic type. The removal of the terminal amide group of the .beta.-aminoalanine as in desamido-BLM A2 markedly reduced the ionic quenching; an increase in the positive charge of the C-terminal amine enhanced the ionic quenching. The .beta.-aminoalanine and the C-terminal amine may be essential for the ionic type of quenching effect, which may be associated with the DNA double-strand breakage activity of BLM since such activity was very low in desamido-BLM A2 in contrast to BLM A2. The binding analysis indicated that at high ionic strength, the removal of the amide or the loss of the positive charge in the terminal amine minimally affected the binding constant but reduced the number of available binding sites by 50%. These residual sites are nonionic in nature. The overall quenching effect showed a base and sequence preference consistent with the reported GC, GT and TA specificity of the DNA breakage. The quenching effects of DNA and Fe(II) or Cu(II) were additive. .beta.-Mercaptoethanol, which showed a differential effect on Fe(II)- and Cu(II)-induced quenching, had little effect on the DNA-induced quenching.
