摘要:
A synthesis of the neocarzinostatin chromophore analog 2, in which the 2'-N-methylamino group of the natural product has been replaced by a hydroxyl group, is described. Thiol addition experiments in organic solvents and DNA-cleavage studies in aqueous solution are also described, and provide further support for the proposed participation of the carbohydrate methylamino group in neocarzinostatin activation.
