New antiamebic acridines. II. Synthesis and DNA binding of a series of 9-acridanones and 9-iminoacridines.
A series of novel 9-acridanones and 9-iminoacridines has been prepared and investigated by a number of spectroscopic techniques in order to determine the nature and extent of the binding of these compounds to DNA. Results are discussed with reference to antiamebic activity in vitro.
