Anthraquinones substituted at the 2 position with a basic side chain were prepared, and their binding to DNA was evaluated. All compounds showed an intercalative mode of binding to DNA; 1,4-dihydroxy derivatives bound more strongly than 1-hydroxy or nonhydroxylated compounds. Greatest DNA-binding activity was found where there were five atoms between the anthraquinone ring and the basic nitrogen.
制备了在2位被碱性侧链取代的蒽醌,并评估了它们与DNA的结合情况。所有化合物均显示出与DNA的嵌入结合模式;1,4-二羟基衍生物的结合比1-羟基或未羟基化的化合物更强。在蒽醌环与碱性氮之间有五个原子的情况下,发现了最大的DNA结合活性。
