Abstract: The interaction of mitoxantrone (MXT) with duplex and triplex DNA, contain repeating sequence CTCT, CCTT and CTT were studied by electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FTICR-MS). The 1:3 specific complexes of mitoxantrone and duplex DNA and 1:2 specific complexes of mitoxantrone and triplex DNA were observed. The results show that mitoxantrone has no remarkable sequence selectivity, however it has distinct structure selectivity, and destabilization the triplex.
