The equilibrium binding of the antitumor agentm-AMSA and its biologically inactive analogo-AMSA to native and synthetic DNAs are compared over a wide range of ionic strengths and temperatures. Althougho-AMSA binds DNA with a higher affinity thanm-AMSA it is not effective as an antitumor agent. Bothm-AMSA ando-AMSA bind DNA in an intercalative manner. Indepth investigations into the thermodynamic parameters of these interactions reveal the interaction of ,m-AMSA with DNA to be an enthalpy driven process. In contrast, the structurally similar but biologically inactiveo-AMSA binds DNA through an entropy driven process. The differences in thermodynamic mechanisms of binding between the two isomers reveal that the electronic and/or steric factors resulting from the position of the methoxy substituient group on the anilino ring directs the DNA binding properties of these compounds and ultimately the biological effectiveness as an antitumor agent
