14. Fluorescence assay for DNA binding by DNA fluorescent dyes, compound 4 and DAPI (2): Separate stock solutions were made for the above DNA dyes in TE (10 mM Tris/1 mM EDTA, pH 7.5) buffer, respectively, at a concentration of 0.01 mg/mL. To a group of tubes that each contained 4 μg/mL of calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were added, respectively, appropriate amounts of a particular fluorescent dye stock solution in such a way that the resulting tubes contained the various ratios between CT-DNA and the dye as defined in Table 1. All resulting solutions were mixed well and, after incubated at room temperature for 10 min, each solution was measured on a fluorescence spectrometer with excitation at 358 nm and emission 461 nm. All results are summarized in Table 1.

18. 3, respectively. After it was stirred at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue was taken up in about 50 mL of water and then filtered. The filtrate was separated on a Rainin preparative RP-HPLC system equipped with a Waters Delta-Pak C-18 cartridge column (4 inch diameter, 100 Å pore size, 15 μm particle size). The elution was effected with a gradient generated between 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in water and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 50 mL/min (Table 2.
