DNA minor groove alkylating agents.
Recent work on a number of different classes of anticancer agents that alkylate DNA in the minor groove is reviewed. There has been much work with nitrogen mustards, where attachment of the mustard unit to carrier molecules can change the normal patterns of both regio- and sequence-selectivity, from reaction primarily at most guanine N7 sites in the major groove to a few adenine N3 sites at the 3'-end of poly(A/T) sequences in the minor groove. Carrier molecules discussed for mustards are intercalators, polypyrroles, polyimidazoles, bis(benzimidazoles), polybenzamides and anilinoquinolinium salts. In contrast, similar targeting of pyrrolizidine alkylators by a variety of carriers has little effect of their patterns of alkylation (at the 2-amino group of guanine). Recent work on the pyrrolobenzodiazepine and cyclopropaindolone classes of natural product minor groove binders is also reviewed.

Synthesis and biological activity of alpha-bromoacryloyl lexitropsin conjugates.
The design, synthesis and biological evaluation of lexitropsins bearing mixed heterocyclic and benzoheterocyclic moieties and tethered to an alpha-bromo acrylic moiety acting as alkylating moiety are reported, and structure-activity relationships determined. With respect to antiproliferative activity against L1210 and K562 cells, compounds 7 and 10 showed the greatest potency, while compounds 4 and 5 exhibit the lowest activity. Among the synthesized compounds 4-12, the derivative 10 was found to be the most potent member of this class and it is 70-fold more active than the bis-pyrrole counterpart 3 against L1210 cell line. In addition, the cytotoxicity of derivatives 5-12 against KB cells and the influence of different glutathione (GSH) concentrations on the cytotoxic effects was also investigated.
