Abstract

A series of amide-coupled bisanthrapyrazole derivatives of 7-chloro-2-[2-[(2-hydroxyethyl) methylamino] ethyl] anthra [1, 9-cd] pyrazol-6 (2H)-one (AP9) were designed using molecular modeling and docking and synthesized in order to develop an anticancer drug that formed a strongly binding bisintercalation complex with DNA. Concentration dependency for the increase in the DNA melting temperature was used to determine the ...
