On the mechanism of activation of designed enediynes with selective cytotoxicity
Enediynes 4–6 with substituents at the C2 position of the triggering device were synthesized and their DNA-cleaving activity and cytotoxicity were examined and compared to those of 3. The results strongly suggusted a β-elimination reaction as the first step for the activation of these cytotoxic agents.
