The thermodynamic acid dissociation constants (pK and pK) of 16 anthracycline antibiotics, including doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAU), their epimers, epidoxorubicin (EDOX) and epidaunorubicin (EDAU), as well as novel anthracycline derivatives containing piperidine (FPIP), morpholine (FMOR) and hexamethylenoimine (FHEX) rings in the formamidine group of the daunosamine moiety were determined by analysis of the dependence between measured electrophoretic mobility and the pH of the buffer using the capillary zone electrophoresis method. The results obtained confirmed the ampholytic character of anthracyclines with at least two ionization states. The determined values were in the range of 8.36-9.28 and 9.38-11.48 for pK and pK arising from ionization of amino and phenolic groups, respectively. Structural modifications in the daunosamine moiety of the studied anthracyclines affected their pharmacological properties, such as antiproliferative activity.

Context: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized with lysine via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and conjugated to galactose or mannose are potential nanocarriers that can effectively bind to the lectin receptor in MDA-MB-231 or MCF-7 breast cancer cells. In this work, a method based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was used to predict the interaction of these functionalized MWCNTs with doxorubicin and obtain structural evidence that allows a better understanding of the drug loading and release process. The MD simulations showed that while doxorubicin only interacted with pristine MWCNTs through π-π stacking interactions, functionalized MWCNTs were also able to establish hydrogen bonds, suggesting that the functionalized groups improve doxorubicin loading.

Many small molecule natural products are decorated with sugar moieties that are essential for their biological activity. A considerable number of natural product glycosides and their derivatives are clinically important therapeutics. Anthracyclines like daunorubicin and doxorubicin are examples of valuable glycosylated natural products used in medicine as potent anticancer agents.

Daunomycin (DN) is a natural product isolated from Streptomyces and it is widely used as a chemotherapeutic medication because of its antitumour properties. It is an anthracycline antibiotic that inhibits virus multiplication and shows activity against acute leukemia. This drug is either injected into a vein of the subject or typically delivered to cellular nuclei by polymeric or metallic nanoparticles and liposomal or proteinous substrates.

Background/aim: Oxazolinodoxorubicin (O-DOX) and oxazolinodaunorubicin (O-DAU) are derivatives of anthracyclines (DOX and DAU) with a modified daunosamine moiety. We aimed to clarify their mechanisms of action by investigating intracellular accumulation and effects on the cell cycle, phosphatidylserine externalization, and proteasome 20S activity.
Materials And Methods: Experimental model consisted of SKOV-3, A549 and HepG2 cells.
