Article Title: Enediyne quinone imines: Truncated, biologically active dynemicin congeners
Abstract: An intermediate in the total synthesis of dynemicin A, quinone imine 1 can be used as a dienophile. But 1 is also a potent cytotoxic agent against human cancer cell lines since it is able to cleave DNA. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that 1 is more effective than two frequently applied antitumor drugs. Quinone imine 1 was synthesized by the rapid oxidation of a fleeting hydroisoquinone intermediate. (Figure Presented.) Copyright © 1994 by VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Germany
