Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Apr 8;12(7):1075-7. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00085-9.

Abstract

Based on the 4-hydroxy-1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane structure of azinomycin, a 3,4-epoxypiperidine structure was designed as a novel and simple alkylating molecular unit, and some 3,4-epoxypiperidine derivatives were found to show DNA-cleavage activity, the structural requirements for which were revealed.
