Abstract

The interaction of antitumor drug mitoxantrone (MTX) with double-stranded synthetic RNA homopolymers has been studied by means of spectroscopic (UV-Visible absorption, circular dichroism) techniques. The results show a base specificity in this interaction: the association constant with poly(G)[Formula: see text]poly(C) is higher than with poly(I)[Formula: see text]poly(C).Values of changes of the system enthalpy and entropy due to complex-formation were determined through the temperature dependence of the binding constant. Calculations show that due to the intercalation interaction of MTX, the values of changes of the system entropy and enthalpy differ from those obtained at ehtidium bromide interaction with synthetic polyribonucleotides, which shows that the intercalation interaction of MTX with double-stranded RNA significantly differs from that of ethidium bromide with RNA.
