Modelling radical-initiated DNA cleavage by vinyl epoxides
Abstract
Allyloxy radicals, formed by addition of thio radicals to vinyl epoxides, are shown to abstract hydrogen atoms and to add to alkene π-bonds in reactions which model the chemistry that would be required to induce DNA damaqe this suggests that vinyl epoxides could have uses as radiosensitizers for treatment of resistant tumours.
