Damage of Trypanosoma cruzi deoxyribonucleic acid by nitroheterocyclic drugs.

S G Goijman, A C Frasch, A O Stoppani.   

Abstract

Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) from Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes pretreated with the trypanocidal drugs nifurtimox (10 or 100 microM) or benznidazole (38 or 380 microM) showed an increased number of strand-breaks, as revealed by (a) trapping of alkali-denatured kDNA by nitrocellulose filters and (b) electrophoresis in an alkaline 2% agarose gel. Similar damage was observed in nuclear DNA (nDNA), as detected by centrifugation in an alkaline-sucrose gradient. DNA damage was reversible since reincubation in fresh medium for 24 hr restored filtration and electrophoretic and sedimentation patterns to normal.
