Abstract

The synthesis of a bicyclic enediyne capable of photosensitive triggering and conjugated to a pyrrole-imidazole polyamide is described. Using UV irradiation, this hybrid molecule is shown to exhibit 100-fold stronger potency for DNA cleavage, in an in vitro assay, as compared to the enediyne without the DNA-localizing pyrrole-imidazole.
