Abstract: | The complex formed between the anticancer drug 4-p-p-(4-quinolylamino)benzamido]anilino]pyridine (SN 6999) and the decadeoxyribonucleoside nonaphosphate d-(GCATTAATGC)2 was investigated using two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY) with a 13C(omega 1)-half-filter. The two quaternary methyl groups in SN 6999 had been labeled with 13C for these experiments. The simplified subspectra of 1H,1H]-NOESY obtained with this procedure greatly facilitate the identification and assignment of intermolecular NOEs. Quite generally, the combined use of isotope labeling and heteronuclear filters in 1H,1H]-NOESY provides an improved experimental basis for structural studies of drug/DNA complexes. |
