Ditercalinium (NSC 335153) was synthesized as a bifunctional DNA intercalator. It is made of two 7-H pyridocarbazole rings joined by a rigid bis-ethyl bispiperidine chain. It binds to DNA with high affinity and elicits anti-tumor activity on a variety of animal tumors. 1H n.m.r. studies of ditercalinium bis-intercalated into d(CpGpCpG)2 have shown that the intercalation process occurs from the large groove of the...
