Abstract

A facile route towards the synthesis of the first examples of cholesterol-conjugated distamycin analogues is described. These compounds retain their strong binding capacity to double-stranded (ds)-DNA. Aqueous suspensions of these analogues exhibited closed, vesicle-like structures under transmission electron microscope.
