2-(3-Methylthiopropyl)-1H-benz[d,e]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione derivatives as novel photo-induced DNA cleavers

Abstract
The efficient DNA cleavage of ϕx 174 DNA is observed in the longer wavelength ( > 350 nm) irradiation of 2-(3-methylthiopropyl)-1H-benz[d,e]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-diones 1a–e, but not in the cases of 2-isobutyl-1H-benz[d,e]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-diones 1f, g which is explained by considering the participation of persulfoxirane intermediate 4 in the DNA photocleavage.
