Abstract
Yatakemycin represents the newest and now most potent member of a class of naturally occurring antitumor compounds that includes CC-1065 and the duocarmycins, which derive their biological properties from a characteristic DNA alkylation reaction. Herein, the first description of the yatakemycin DNA alkylation properties is detailed, constituting the first such study of a naturally occurring "sandwiched" member of this class. Thus, the event, sequence selectivity, relative rate and efficiency, and reversibility of the DNA alkylation reaction of yatakemycin are described.Entities:
