Cytotoxic Halogenoacrylic Derivatives of Distamycin A.
2000
The design, synthesis, in vitro and in vivo activities of a series of halogenoacrylic derivatives of distamycin A are described. The structure-activity relationships indicate a key role of the reactivity of alpha-halogenoacrylic moiety. The reactivity and the putative alkylating mechanism of these compounds are different from those of the nitrogen mustards and possibly based on a Michael type reaction. This supports the hypothesis that these compounds represent a class of minor groove binders mechanistically different from tallimustine.
