Abstract

The designed hybrids 5-11 containing the DNA cleavable enediyne 4 and naturally occurring DNA intercalators 12-18cleave DNA effectively under alkaline conditions without any additive; the hybrids 5 and 11 exhibit the strongest DNA-cleaving abilities with the identical high purine base (G>A) selectivities for their DNA-cleavage profiles.
