Novel Azapodophyllotoxin Induces DNA Cleavage via Groove Binding: An Advancement in Exploration of Anticancer Activity of a Known Inhibitor of Tubulin Polymerization and Topoisomerase
Abstract:The present study embodies exploration of new potential targets for bioactive azapodophyllotoxins (AZP) that have been mainly considered as inhibitor of tubulin polymerization and topoisomerases. The interaction of a novel AZP, HTDQ, with potential target DNA (calf thymus DNA) has been investigated alongwith its mechanism of action by using combined biophysical spectroscopic techniques and in silico approach. The steady state absorption and fluorescence studies highlights binding interaction of HTDQ with the n… Show more
