Title: Effect of C2/C3-endo unsaturation on the cytotoxicity and DNA-binding reactivity of pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines.
Authors: Gregson SJ, Howard PW, Barcella S, Nakamya A, Jenkins TC, Kelland LR, Thurston DE.
Abstract: A series of novel C2,C3-endo unsaturated pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines (PBDs) has been synthesised via cleavage of the N10-Alloc protecting group from appropriate precursors. Biophysical and biological evaluations show that the presence of C2/C3-endo unsaturation in the PBD C-ring enhances both DNA-binding reactivity and in vitro cytotoxic potency.
