The cytotoxicities and DNA cross-linking abilities of several alkyl- substituted diaziridinylquinones have been investigated. The cytotoxicities were determined in DT-diaphorase-rich (H460 and HT29) and -deficient (H596 and BE) cell lines. It was shown that the cytotoxicities in these cell lines correlated with the relative rates of reduction by the purified human enzyme and with the cross-linking efficiencies. The rates of reduction by DT- diaphorase were more dependent on the structures of the compounds than the reduction potentials, as determined by cyclic voltammetry. A computer model was also used to explain high efficiency of cross-linking and the GNC sequence selectivity of the reduced methyl-substituted diaziridinylquinones.

The reaction of acetylenes with α,β-unsaturated chromium carbene complexes allows for the controlled construction of an aromatic nucleus under neutral conditions at near ambient temperatures.The synthetic scope of the reaction is examined for eight different carbene complexes with a variety of acetylenes to give three different types of benzannulated products depending on the type of oxidative workup employed.
