title: Diaminopurine-acridine heterodimers for specific recognition of abasic site containing DNA. Influence on the biological activity of the position of the linker on the purine ring.
abstract: Three acridine-diaminopurine heterodimers tethered by a linker containing an N,N'-substituted guanidine were prepared. The molecules differ by the site of introduction of the linker on the 2,6-diaminopurine. The interactions of the new heterodimers with abasic site containing oligonucleotide were compared, and their cytotoxicity was measured in the presence or absence of the antitumor alkylating agent BCNU.
