Abstract

Abstract The lipophilic, cell-penetrating zinc chelator N, N, N′, N′,-tetrakis (2- pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN, 1) and the zinc chelating procaspase-activating compound PAC-1 (2) both have been reported to induce apoptosis in various cell types. The relationship between apoptosis-inducing ability and zinc affinity (K d), have been investigated with two new model compounds, ZnA-DPA (3) and ZnA-Pyr (4), and ...
