Synthesis of pathogen inactivating nucleic acid intercalators

Eur J Med Chem. 2004 Nov;39(11):975-88. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2004.07.011.

Abstract

A series of antiviral compounds consisting of an intercalating acridine derived part, a spacer region and a reactive EDTA-derived conjugate was synthesized in an easy sequence starting from 1,omega-alkyldiamines. As shown in model screenings, in the presence of ascorbic acid the Fe-complexes of these compounds reduced the phage-titer of MS2-phages by several logarithmic decades.
