title: Synthesis and study of a new adenine-acridine tandem, inhibitor of exonuclease III.
abstract: A new heterodimer adenine-chain-acridine containing a mixed amido-guanidinium linker chain was synthesized. To achieve the synthesis a new method of introduction of aminoalkyl chain at position 9 of adenine was designed. The heterodimer interacts specifically with the abasic sites in DNA and inhibits the major base excision repair enzyme in Escherichia coli, Exonuclease III.
