    Abstract:
    The complex formation of the antibiotic mitoxantrone (novantrone) with the deoxytetranucleotide 5'-d(TpGpCpA) in an aqueous salt solution was studied by one- and two-dimensional (2D-TOSCY and 2D-NOESY) 1H NMR spectroscopy (500 MHz). Concentration and temperature dependence of proton chemical shifts of molecules were measured. On the basis of these data, the equilibrium constants of the reaction, the relative content of various complexes as a function of concentration and temperature, the limiting values of chemical shifts of novantrone in complexes, and the thermodynamic parameters delta H and delta S of complex formation of molecules were calculated. It was concluded that the attachment sites for novantrone are pyrimidine-purine nucleotide sequences, sites d(TG) and d(CA) of the tetranucleotide duplex. The analysis of the thermodynamic parameters of the complex formation suggests that intermolecular hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions of the aminoalkyl chains of novantrone with the duplex d(TpGpCpA)2 play an important role in the stabilization of complexes 1:2 and 2:2. The results were compared with those obtained earlier for typical intercalators of ethidium bromide and daunomycin under identical experimental conditions.
