In pursuing our investigation out the antimony analogues of certain nitrogen ring-systems, we Lave now succeeded in obtaining derivatives of dilhydrostibacridines, of when some of the corresponding arsenic compounds have been studied recently by Gump and Stolzenburg. The starting material for the work was o -aminodiphenylmethane obtained from the corresponding nitro derivative when, in turn, was prepared from o -nitrobenzyl chloride and benzene by Taneseseu's modification of the Friedel-Crafts reaction.

Abstract Me3CSiHal3 react with LiOCMe3 to give Me3CO(Me3C)SiHal2 (HaI = F (1), Cl (3)). The aminofluorosilane, Me3CO(Me3C)SiFNH2 (2), is formed in the reaction of 1 with LiNH2. The diaminosilane Me3CO(Me3C)Si(NH2)2 (4) is obtained from the reaction of 2 with ammonia. 4 reacts with LiC4H9 to give the lithium derivative Me3CO(Me3C)Si(NHLi)NH2 (5). In a molar ratio 1:1 the reaction of 5 and 1 leads to the formation of the 1-amino-3-fluoro-disilazane Me3CO(Me3C)SiF- NH - SiNH2(CMe3)OCMe3 (6) and in a molar ratio 2:1 to the four-membered silicon nitrogen ring [Me3CO(M e3C)Si-NH]2 (7). The crystal structure of 7 was determined.

Coralyne has been shown previously to bind well to both T∙A∙T- and C∙G∙C+-containing triplexes. Derivatives of coralyne were prepared and their binding to poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT) and poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]∙poly[d(C+T)] was assessed from thermal denaturation profiles. A tetraethoxy derivative showed only weak binding to both types of triplex. Analogues with extended 8-alkyl chains showed good binding to poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT), but the preference for triplex poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]∙poly[d(C+T)] was decreased compared with the duplex. Sanguinarine, a related alkaloid, bound well to poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT) but only weakly to the protonated triplex. It is hypothesized that the position of the protonated nitrogen ring is important for binding to poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]∙poly[d(C+T)]. A series of other chromophores was studied and only those with a positive charge bound to triplexes. All of these bound well to poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT) but only weakly if at all to the duplex poly(dA)∙poly(dT). In contrast, most of them did not bind well to the triplex poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]∙poly[d(C+T)] and those that did still showed a preference for duplex poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]. In general, preference for triplex poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT) compared with the duplex is a common feature of intercalating drugs. On the other hand, specificity for protonated triplexes may be very difficult to achieve.Key words: triplex DNA, DNA-binding drugs, intercalation.

Delcosine has been assigned tentatively the same C—N skeleton as lycoctonine. In lycoctonine, ring A carries at C-1 a methoxyl group which is directed away from the nitrogen ring. In delcosine, C-1 carries a hydroxyl group which has the opposite configuration and is directed towards the nitrogen. An attempt to correlate the two structures first involves epimerization at C-1 in delcosine. This has been carried out by oxidation of desethyldelcosine to an azomethine, the ethiodide of which, by the action of methanolic potassium hydroxide, is converted to oxo-1-epidelcosine in two steps. Oxo-1-epidelcosine in an acid-catalyzed rearrangement is transformed to a pinacone which, after methylation, gives O,O-dimethyl-anhydro-oxo-1-epidelcosine. This compound was compared with O-methylanhydro-oxolycoctonine, prepared from oxolycoctonine, but was not identical. Removal of a methoxyl, which in each compound is ortho to a carbonyl, by the action of sodium amalgam, produced O,O-dimethyl-6-desmethoxy-anhydro-oxo-1-epidelcosine and O-methyl-6-desmethoxy-anhydro-oxolycoctonine, which are not identical, but show in their infrared spectra much less dissimilarity than the spectra of the pair of compounds from which they were derived. These results are discussed in terms of the structure of delcosine.
