RESUMO

9-Aminoacridine forms a crystalline complex with the dinucleoside monophosphate, 5-iodocytidylyl(3'-5')guanosine. We have solved the three-dimensional structure of this complex by x-ray crystallography and have observed two distinct intercalative binding modes by this drug to miniature Watson-Crick double helical structures. The first of these involves a pseudosymmetric stacking interaction between 9-aminoacridine molecules and guanine-cytosine base-pairs. This configuration may be used by 9-aminoacridine when intercalating into DNA. The second configuration is an asymmetric interaction, largely governed by stacking forces between acridine and guanine rings. This type of association may play an important role in the mechanism of frameshift mutagenesis.
