The synthesis of a series of esters of hycanthone (HC) and 7-hydroxyhycanthone, their antitumor activity, and their antischistosomal effects on HC-sensitive and HC-resistant schistosomes are reported. Binding studies using tritium-labeled HC and hycanthone N-methylcarbamate (HNMC) with calf thymus DNA provided evidence that HNMC but not HC alkylated the DNA. Tritiated HNMC also bound to the DNA of
