Synthesis of New Potential Bis-Intercalators Based on Chiral Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamides

Abstract

Potential bis-intercalating compounds N,N-dibenzylidene-N2,N2'-(pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl)- di(aminoacidhydrazides) 4a-4j, N,N'-substituted pyridine-2,6-bis(carbohydrazides) 5a-5d and N,N'-substituted N2N2'-bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl)di(aminoacidhydrazides) 6a-6g, both racemic and optically active, can be easily synthesized from pyridine-2,6-bis(carbohydrazide), natural amino acids and aromatic aldehydes or anhydrides of aromatic ortho-dicarboxylic acids.
