Natural Products and Their Derivatives as Inhibitors of the DNA Repair Enzyme Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase 1

Alexandra L Zakharenko et al. Int J Mol Sci. .

Abstract

Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) is an important repair enzyme that removes various covalent adducts from the 3' end of DNA. Particularly, covalent complexes of topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) with DNA stabilized by DNA damage or by various chemical agents are an examples of such adducts. Anticancer drugs such as the TOP1 poisons topotecan and irinotecan are responsible for the stabilization of these complexes. TDP1 neutralizes the effect of these anticancer drugs, eliminating the DNA adducts. Therefore, the inhibition of TDP1 can sensitize tumor cells to the action of TOP1 poisons. This review contains information about methods for determining the TDP1 activity, as well as describing the inhibitors of these enzyme derivatives of natural biologically active substances, such as aminoglycosides, nucleosides, polyphenolic compounds, and terpenoids. Data on the efficiency of combined inhibition of TOP1 and TDP1 in vitro and in vivo are presented.

Keywords: TDP1 inhibitors; TOP1 inhibitors; anticancer therapy; derivative; natural compound.

Crystal structure of the complex of TDP1 with the vanadate oxoanion VO43− [6]. (A) Red depicts a negative partial charge on the surface, blue depicts positive partial charge. The yellow V indicates the position of the vanadate residue in the active site. The DNA moiety extends above the active site, bound in the narrow, positively charged half of the substrate-binding groove. The peptide moiety is located below the active site, in a relatively neutral part of the wider substrate-binding cleft (Protein Data Bank (PDB) ID: 1NOP). (B) Detailed view of contacts between the substrate and amino acid residues in the catalytic site of TDP1. H-bonds between DNA and amino acid residues of TDP1 are indicated.

(E) The SCAN1 mutation (H493R) leads to the accumulation of the TDP1–DNA intermediate and a fall in the TDP1 turnover rate.
