Chloride anion transport and copper-mediated DNA cleavage by C-ring functionalized prodigiosenes.
A new class of prodigiosenes with stability-enhancing functionalities appended to the C-ring were found to transport chloride anions through liposomal membranes, as well as to induce copper-mediated DNA cleavage.
