Abstract
In the present study are reported the differential DNA binding activity of the anti-tumor polyamidine tetra-p-amidinophenoxyneopentane (TAPP-H) and its 2'-halo derivative (TAPP-Br), and their effects on the binding of the recombinant Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen to a synthetic oligonucleotide mimicking the target DNA sequence present in the EBV genome. In addition, the proliferation kinetics and cell cycle analysis of human leukemia K562 cells treated with TAPP-H and TAPP-Br are reported. The possible in vivo relationship between DNA binding affinity and cytotoxicity is also discussedFile in questo prodotto:
