A novel sequence-selective extended PBD dimer 4 has been synthesized that binds with high affinity to an interstrand cross-linking site spanning 11 DNA base pairs. Despite its molecular weight (984.07) and length, the molecule has significant DNA interstrand cross-linking potency (approximately 100-fold greater than the clinically used agent melphalan) and sub-micromolar cytotoxicity in a number of tumour cell lines, suggesting that it readily penetrates cellular and nuclear membranes to reach its DNA target.
已合成一种新型的序列选择性扩展型PBD二聚体4,它能与跨越11个DNA碱基对的链间交联位点高亲和力结合。尽管该分子分子量为984.07且长度较长,但它在许多肿瘤细胞系中具有显著的DNA链间交联活性(比临床使用的药物美法仑大约高100倍)和亚微摩尔级的细胞毒性,这表明它能轻易穿透细胞膜和核膜以到达其DNA靶点。
