DNA Cross Linkers

<p>Bendamustine is a bifunctional mechlorethamine derivative with alkylator and antimetabolite properties. An alkylating group, a benzimidazole ring that may function as a purine analog, and a butyric acid side chain are the three active moieties found in bendamustine. Through its function as an alkylating agent, Bendamustine causes intra and inter-strand crosslinks between DNA bases resulting in DNA, RNA synthesis inhibition and cell death.</p>

<p>Active metabolite of ifosfamide; alkylates and cross-links DNA; antineoplastic</p>

<p>Temozolomide is a cancer drug that belongs to the class of alkylating agents. It has been shown to have anticancer activity against human tumor cells in vitro. Temozolomide induces cell death by activating the apoptotic pathway. This drug also inhibits the cell cycle and blocks the G2-M phase, resulting in accumulation of cells at this point in the cell cycle. Temozolomide has been studied for its effects for cancer treatment in certain research approaches.</p>

<p>Applications A bifunctional iron chelating agent that has been employed to couple metal ions to biological molecules, including radiopharmaceutical synthesis and targeted protein hydrolysis. Bifunctional chelating reagents possess both a strong metal-binding moiety and a group that binds to a biological molecule.<br>References Greiner, D.P., et al.: Bioconjugate Chem., 8, 44 (1997)<br></p>
