Evaluation of alkylating pyrrole-imidazole polyamide conjugates by a novel method for high-throughput sequencer

N-Methylpyrrole-N-methylimidazole (PI) polyamides are a class of DNA minor groove binders with DNA sequence-specificity. DNA-alkylating PI polyamide conjugates are attractive candidates as anticancer drugs acting through DNA damage and its subsequent inhibition of cell proliferation. One example is a chlorambucil-PI polyamide conjugate targeting the runt-related transcription factor (RUNX) family. RUNX1 has pro-oncogenic properties in acute...
