Remarkable DNA binding affinity and potential anticancer activity of pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine–naphthalimide conjugates linked through piperazine side-armed alkane spacers
摘要:
A series of pyrrolobenzodiazepine-naphthalimide conjugates tethered through a piperazine ring system have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer activity. These new conjugates exhibit very high DNA binding affinity and cytotoxic activity against a number of cell lines. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
