title: Design and synthesis of novel chrysene-linked pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]-benzodiazepine hybrids as potential DNA-binding agents.
abstract: Chrysene-linked pyrrolobenzodiazepine hybrids have been prepared that possess cytotoxicity in some cancer cell lines. They also exhibit promising DNA-binding affinity and this is supported by molecular modeling studies.
