| Abstract | Adriamycin is known to induce the formation of adducts with DNA when reacted under in vitro transcription conditions. The factors affecting the extent of adduct formation were examined in order to establish the critical components and optimal conditions required for the reaction, and to gain insight into the nature of the DNA-adduct complex. There was a strong dependence on reaction temperature (with a 40-fold increase of adducts at 40-50 degrees C compared to 10 degrees C), pH (maximum adducts at pH 7), but little dependence on the oxygen level. There was an absolute requirement for a reducing agent, with adducts detected with DTT, beta-mercaptoethanol and glutathione, maximal adducts were formed at high levels of DTT (5-10 mM). Adducts were also formed with a xanthine oxidase/NADH reducing system, with increasing amounts of adducts detected with increasing NADH; no adducts were detected in the absence of either the enzyme or NADH. Of fourteen derivatives studied, only four yielded a similar extent of adduct formation as adriamycin; there was no absolute requirement for a carbonyl at C13 or hydroxyl at C14. Adducts were also observed with ssDNA but required a longer reaction time compared to dsDNA. The sequence specificity of adduct formation with ssDNA was examined using a primer-extension assay; almost all adducts were associated with a guanine residue. Overall, the results are consistent with a two-step reaction mechanism involving reductive activation of adriamycin, with the activated species then reacting with the guanine residues of either dsDNA or ssDNA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
