title: Synthesis and DNA-binding ability of C2R-fluoro substituted DC-81 and its dimers.
abstract: C2R-Fluoro substituted DC-81 and its dimers have been synthesized that exhibit significant DNA-binding ability, particularly the five carbon alkane spacer compound (6c) showed the helix melting temperature (DeltaTm) of 18.8 degrees C after incubation of 36 h at 37 degrees C.
