we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of symmetric and asymmetric analogues of the DNA intercalating drugmitoxantrone (MTX) in which the sidechains of the parent drug were modified through glycosylation or methyl etherification. Several analogues with glycosylated sidechains exhibited higher DNA affinity than the parent MTX. The most potent in vitro cytotoxicity was observed for MTX analogue
