| Abstract |
Among 14 bis-halomethylated naphthalenes and quinolines, 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene was found to have highly active crosslinking activity on DNA. The unique behavior of high microbial mutagenicity, even though it had a low propensity to form double-strands in linearized plasmid DNA, suggested that it would offer a new seed, capable of forming intrastrand crosslinks similar to cisplatin. The electron withdrawal extent of the halogen atoms, the substitution patterns of two halomethyl groups, and the introduction of a nitrogen atom into the aromatic nucleus had remarkable effects on the activity of the molecule.
