[Topoisomerase II mediated DNA strand cleavage and antitumor activities against murine leukemia P388 of novel acridines].
In order to clarify the mechanism of topoisomerase II mediated DNA cleavage activity caused by intercalators (9-anilinoacridines), antitumor activities against murine P388 and calf thymus DNA topoisomerase II mediated DNA cleavage activities of compounds m-AMSA, A4P73, A3P56, and A3P166 have been studied. A4P73 was found to have potent antitumor and DNA cleavage activities.
