Imidazoacridinone C-1311 (Symadex (R)) is an antitumor agent which has been recommended for Phase II clinical trials a few years ago. Previously, it was shown experimentally that during the initial stage of its action C-1311 forms stable intercalation complexes with DNA duplexes. Herein, a NMR-derived stereo structure of d(GAGGCCTC)(2):C-1311 complex was reported. The ligand was found locating itself between A and G moieties, forming symmetrical DNA:drug 1:2 mol/mol complex. Intercalation site was located upon the DNA-ligand proton/proton dipolar couplings observed in the NOESY spectrum and the performed MD simulations. NMR-derived stereostructure was hence refined by restrained MD using distance restraints obtained from the NOESY data and the result was compared with MD-derived structure of the proposed complex, obtained from the calculations performed with distance restraints applied only for hydrogen bonds in the terminal GC base pairs. The results of both simulations were coherent. Basing on the observed C-1311's intercalation sites and on our previous results concerning the d(CGATCG)(2):C-1311 complex, we stated that AG/GA sequences are the preferred binding sites of imidazoacridinone C-1311.
