title: Design, synthesis, and analysis of minor groove binder pyrrolepolyamide-2'-deoxyguanosine hybrids.
abstract: Pyrrolepolyamide-2'-deoxyguanosine hybrids (Hybrid 2 and Hybrid 3) incorporating the 3-aminopropionyl or 3-aminopropyl linker were designed and synthesized on the basis of previously reported results of a pyrrolepolyamide-adenosine hybrid (Hybrid 1). Evaluation of the DNA binding sequence selectivity of pyrrolepolyamide-2'-deoxyguanosine hybrids was performed by CD spectral and T(m) analyses. It was shown that Hybrid 3 possessed greater binding specificity than distamycin A, Hybrid 1 and Hybrid 2.
