Abstract

Artificial intercalator–carbohydrate hybrids such as that shown in the scheme cleave DNA at the site of guanine on irradiation with UV light with a long wavelength. The hybrids also exhibit strong cytotoxicity when irradiated. The hybrid system is very important for DNA cleavage, and the cytotoxic activity correlates with the DNA-cleaving capacity
