Abstract
A series of saturated heterocyclic analogues of distamycin were prepared and examined. A fluorescent intercalator displacement (FID) assay conducted on p[dA]-p[dT] DNA to obtain C(50) values and a hairpin deoxyoligonucleotide containing an A/T-rich binding site was used to evaluate DNA binding affinity. It is observed that saturated heterocycles greatly reduce the DNA binding relative to distamycin.Entities:
