Abstract

The attack of a thiolate ion on the trisulfide unit of natural calicheamicin γ (1) activates it to form a diradical, which then attacks DNA. Thioacetate 2 is even more readily activated—under mildly basic conditions caused by OH- ions—and likewise exhibits extremely interesting biological properties.
