Zalypsis® (PM00104) is a novel tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid related to trabectedin (Ecteinascidin 743; Et743). Et743 and PM00104 have similar A- and B-rings but differ in their C-rings. The present study demonstrates that Et743 and PM00104 differ in at least two ways: in their DNA binding properties and NER dependency for cellular targeting. DNase I footprinting shows that the two drugs bind DNA differentially. We also found that, in contrast to Et743, the antiproliferative activity of PM00104 does not depend on transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (NER). Accordingly, PM00104 induces γ-H2AX foci with the same efficiency in NER-deficient or proficient cells. Moreover, the formation of γ-H2AX foci is replication-dependent for PM00104 whereas it is both transcription- and replication-dependent in the case of Et743. These findings demonstrate the importance of the C-ring structure of tetrahydroisoquinoline ecteinascidin derivatives for NER targeting. Finally, PM00104 exerts antiproliferative activity at nanomolar concentrations and induces γ-H2AX response in two Ewing sarcoma cell lines, suggesting that γ-H2AX could serve as a pharmacodynamic biomarker for the clinical development of PM00104.
