Abstract
Epoxypiperidine derivatives bearing a dehydroamino acid unit were designed and synthesized as novel DNA alkylating agents based on the structure of azinomycins. A relaxation assay of plasmid DNA revealed that the epoxypiperidine derivative 3 has a DNA cleavage activity. Based on the studies, it would appear that the electron density of the amino group of epoxypiperidines plays a critically important role in the DNA cleavage.
