Fluoride as an inducible DNA cross-linking agent for new antitumor prodrug

Org Biomol Chem. 2013 Apr 14;11(14):2365-9. doi: 10.1039/c2ob27324a.

Abstract

Two new small compounds, which undergo fluoride-mediated self rearrangement, produce active DNA alkylating agent nitrogen mustard leading to DNA damage and finally cell death, providing potential antitumor prodrugs.
