• 关键词: X ray crystallography; anthracyclines; antibiotics; bleomycin; chemical models; chemical structure function; doxorubicin; drug interactions; drug metabolism; drug receptors; metal complex; mitomycin C; mitomycins; nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; nucleic acid inhibitor; protein biosynthesis; rifamycins

The objectives of this research program are (i) to elucidate the relationship between physicochemical properties and chemical structures of the drugs to be studied, and (ii) also to understand the exact molecular mechanism by which these drugs inhibit nucleic acid and protein synthesis. The drugs chosen for these studies are Anthracyclines, e.g. aclacinomycin, nogalamycin, steffimycin, etc.; Rifamycins; Covalent binders of DNA, e.g. anthramycin, sibiromycin, tomaymycin, neothramycin, etc.; Mitoxantrones; Cyclic peptide antibiotics, e.g. echinomycin, ostreogrycin, actinomycin, etc.; Nucleoside antibiotics, e.g. gougerotin, nikkomycin; as well as Antitumor polypeptide antibiotics. Also, complexes of these drugs with fragments of nucleic acids and proteins will be investigated. The methods used for investigations will be mainly X-ray crystallography, NMR, and computer graphics. The results of these investigations will help reveal the sites of interaction of these drugs to the target molecules and thus models for drug-receptor interaction can be postulated. Also, modifications to the structures of the drugs can be postulated to enhance their therapeutic selectivity.

该研究计划的目标是（i）阐明 物理化学特性与化学结构之间的关系 要研究的药物，（ii）也了解精确的分子 这些药物抑制核酸和蛋白质合成的机制。 这些研究选择的药物是蒽环类药物，例如阿克拉霉素， Nogalamycin，Steffimycin等；利福米霉素； DNA的共价粘合剂，例如 炭疽霉素，西比罗霉素，tomaymycin，neothramycin等； mitoxantrones; 环状肽抗生素，例如echinomycin，ostregrycin，放线霉素， ETC。;核苷抗生素，例如Gougerotin，Nikkomycin；也 抗肿瘤多肽抗生素。 此外，这些药物的复合物与 将研究核酸和蛋白质的片段。 方法 用于研究的主要是X射线晶体学，NMR和 计算机图形。 这些调查的结果将有助于揭示 这些药物与靶分子相互作用的位点，因此 可以假设药物受体相互作用的模型。 还， 可以假定对药物结构的修改以增强 他们的治疗选择性。
