Modelling Radical-initiated DNA Cleavage by Vinyl Epoxides
Breen, Anthony P.,Murphy, John A.
, p. 191 - 192 (1993)
Allyloxy radicals, formed by addition of thio radicals to vinyl epoxides, are shown to abstract hydrogen atoms and to add to alkene ?-bonds in reactions which model the chemistry that would be required to induce DNA damage; this suggests that vinyl epoxides could have uses as radiosensitizers for treatment of resistant tumours.
