Incorporation of 3-Aminobenzanthrone into 2′-Deoxyoligonucleotides and Its Impact on Duplex Stability

3-Nitrobenzanthrone (3NBA), an environmental pollutant and potent mutagen, causes DNA damage via the reaction of its metabolically activated form with the exocyclic amino groups of purines and the C-8 position of guanine. The present work describes a synthetic approach to the preparation of oligomer...
