DNA cleaving activities of 9-membered masked enediyne analogues possessing DNA intercalator and sugar moieties

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Dec 1;8(23):3303-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00606-4.

Abstract

The DNA cleaving properties of various enediyne analogues possessing sugar moieties and DNA-intercalators were investigated. The DNA cleaving experiments show that these hybrids analogues induced sequence-selective DNA cleavage and the simple sugars in the enediyne serve as a DNA recognition element for DNA cleavage.
