A Novel Depurination Methodology to Assess DNA Alkylation of Chloro-Bis-Seco-Cyclopropylbenzoindoles Allowed for Comparison of Minor-Groove Reactivity
{{output}}
Duocarmycins [including cyclopropyl pyrroloindole (CPI) or cyclopropyl benzoindole (CBI)] are a class of DNA minor-groove alkylators and seco-CPI/CBIs are synthetic pro-forms that can spirocyclize to CPI/CBI. Bis-CPI/CBIs are potential drug candidates because ... ...
