Synthesis, DNA binding properties and biological evaluation of novel oligo-meta-benzamides related to netropsin
摘要:
A series of oligo-meta-benzamides structurally related to the natural agent netropsin have been synthesized. Their binding constants to double-stranded polynucleotides as well as their cytostatic activity against tumor cell lines and their in vitro activity against a wide variety of DNA and RNA viruses have been determined. Most of these analogues retain the DNA binding capacity of the parent compound but with a notable decrease of selectivity and affinity. Like netropsin, the evaluated analogues did not show significant cytostatic and antiviral activity.
