The kinamycins are biologically active secondary metabolites characterized by an uncommon diazobenzo[b]fluorene skeleton. Kinamycin D has been shown to potently cleave DNA under mild biomimetic conditions. Use of the endogenously abundant reductant glutathione at 570 mu M, kinamycin D effectively cleaved DNA in a concentration, temperature, and time-dependent fashion. Dithiothreitol also proved effective at low concentration while other reductants failed to induce DNA cleavage. Mechanistic consequences of the DNA cleavage results are described.
