Abstract excerpt
Nitrogen mustards are commonly used in cancer chemotherapy. They interact with DNA at electronegative sites, primarily forming N7 guanine mono-adducts and interstrand cross-links. Targeting nitrogen mustards to DNA by attachment of a DNA minor groove binding carrier such as the bisbenzimidazoles Hoechst 33258 (pibenzimol) or Hoechst 33342 (HOE) makes it possible to direct DNA alkylation to more specific stretches...
