Abstract

The designing of DNA intercalating drugs with high DNA affinity in the series of ellipticine has led to a new antitumoral agent, 9-hydroxyellipticine, which has a high DNA affinity, a high activity on L 1210 mice leukemia, and a lack of toxicity at therapeutic dose. The possible correlations among chemical structure, DNA reactivity, and pharmacological activity of DNA intercalating drugs are discussed.
