The potential of tripeptides 3, 6 and 12 as chiral catalysts for asymmetric Michael addition reactions in the presence of an achiral additive has been tested in different solvents (CHCI3, acetone, DMF, DMSO and the room-temperature ionic liquid

A series of saturated heterocyclic analogues of distamycin were prepared and examined. A fluorescent intercalator displacement (FID) assay conducted on p[dA]-p[dT] DNA to obtain C50 values and a hairpin deoxyoligonucleotide containing an A/T-rich binding site was used to evaluate DNA binding affinity. It is observed that saturated heterocycles greatly reduce the DNA binding relative to distamycin.
