title: Establishment of substituent effects in the DNA binding subunit of CBI analogues of the duocarmycins and CC-1065.
abstract: An extensive series of CBI analogues of the duocarmycins and CC-1065 exploring substituent effects within the first indole DNA binding subunit is detailed. In general, substitution at the indole C5 position led to cytotoxic potency enhancements that can be >/=1000-fold providing simplified analogues containing a single DNA binding subunit that are more potent (IC(50)=2-3 pM) than CBI-TMI, duocarmycin SA, or CC-1065.
