DNA topoisomerase II is an essential nuclear enzyme that modulates DNA topology during multiple cellular processes such as DNA replication and chromosome segregation. Several important clinical antitumor drugs and antibiotics act through inhibition of topoisomerase II. There are a number of different steps in the action of topoisomerase II, all of which are potential targets for inhibition through drugs and also for cellular and genetic toxicity as well as for mutagenesis. We have investigated and compared the genotoxicity and mutagenicity of the mechanistically different topoisomerase II inhibitors m-amsacrine, mitoxantrone, etoposide, genistein, ICRF 193, and berenil using the in vitro micronucleus test, single cell gelelectrophoresis (comet assay) and the mutation assay (tk-locus) in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells. All six compounds induced micronuclei and all except berenil were mutagenic. M-amsacrine, mitoxantrone, etopside and genistein induced DNA migration in the comet assay, whereas ICRF 193 was only weakly positive and berenil was negative in this test. Our results are in good agreement with the compounds' proposed mechanisms of interaction with topoisomerase II. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
