Divalent cations are dispensable for binding to DNA of a novel positively charged olivomycin A derivative.

The current model of binding of the antitumor antibiotic olivomycin A (1) to GC-rich DNA regions presumes that coordination of the magnesium divalent cation with drug dimers is necessary for binding of 1 into the minor groove of the DNA duplex. Previously we have synthesized the derivatives of 1 ter...
