We describe the synthesis and photophysical properties of 11 substituted 5-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine derivatives and oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) containing 5-(5,6-dimethoxybenzothiazol-2-yl)- 2′-deoxyuridine (dbtU), which was the strongest fluorescent derivative among those prepared. The fluorescence properties of dbtU itself and ODNs containing dbtU show the same tendency of being weaker in both neutral and acidic solution and stronger in basic solution. The ODNs (15mer) containing 16 combinations of 5′-XbtU-3′ and 5′-btUY-3′, where X, Y = A, T, G, or C, were synthesized, and their fluorescence intensity and quantum yield in basic solution were compared. On average, only the ODN with the 5′-G btU-3′ sequence shows a 7.9-fold lower fluorescence intensity than the other sequences. Ab initio calculations of 5′-G btU-3′ and 5′-btUG-3′ as models under basic conditions suggest that the lower fluorescence of the ODN containing the 5′-GbtU-3′ sequence is caused by a wider overlap between stacked guanine (Gua) and btUra than that of the 5′- btUG-3′ sequence and that the HOMO is delocalized not only on btUra but also on Gua.

New fluorinated 2-aryl-benzothiazoles, -benzoxazoles, and -chromen-4-ones have been synthesized and their activity against MCF-7 and MDA 468 breast cancer cell lines compared with the potent antitumor benzothiazole 5. Analogues such as 9a,b and 12a,d yielded submicromolar GI50 values in both cell lines; however, none of the new compounds approached 5 in terms of antitumor potency. For 5, binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor appeared to be necessary but not sufficient for growth inhibition.
