The facile synthesis of C-8 linked pyrrolobenzodiazepine-naphthalimide hybrid analogues is described. The compounds are prepared with varying degrees of linker length in order to probe the structural requirements for optimal in vitro anti-tumour activity. Some of these new hybrid compounds showed higher cytotoxic activity than the existing natural and synthetic pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines.

An efficient synthesis of the imine form of the pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4] benzodiazepine ring system based on a new reductive cyclization procedure is described. The naturally occuring antibiotic DC-81(5c) and its 5-thio analogue (7c) have also been synthesized to illustrate the usefulness of this methodology.

Two routes to the naturally occuring DNA-binding antitumor antibiotic DC-81 are described, one of which involves a novel cyclization process based on acid resin. The second route involves the synthesis of a new compound, 6-nitrovanillic acid, a key A-ring component of many naturally occuring PBDs. These routes have provided a sufficient quantity of DC-81 to allow complete characterization and evaluation in DNA-binding and in vitro cytoxicity studies.
