Oxime Esters of 2,6-Diazaanthracene-9,10-dione and 4,5-Diazafluoren-9-one as Photo-induced DNA-Cleaving Agents

Two series of oxime esters containing the 2,6-diazaanthracene-9,10-dione bis-(O-benzoyloxime) and 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one O-9-benzoyloxime moieties have been synthesized and tested as photo-induced DNA cleaving agents. All these compounds were found to cleave DNA upon irradiation with 312 nm UV light...
