Molecular structure of:
2,5-bis(4'-2"(3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinyl)phenyl)furan.dihydrochloride


This molecule is part of a series modeled by Carolyn A. Kanagy and W. David Wilson of the Georgia State University Department of Chemistry. It is a dicationic, diaryl furan which can bind to AT- rich regions of the minor groove of DNA. It has been tested as a potential inhibitor of the enzyme topoisomerase II, and has been considered as an antigiardial agent.
