Since the discovery of DNA intercalating agents (by Lerman, 1961), a growing number of
organic, inorganic, and metallic compounds have been developed to treat life-threatening …

ABSTRACT DNA intercalators represent an important class of compounds with a high
potential as DNA‐targeting drugs. In this review it is demonstrated that annelated …

Rhodium catalysis: A highly efficient and general method has been established to prepare
cinnolines, cinnolinium salts, and polycyclic cinnolinium salts through the rhodium (III) …

Although cinnoline belongs to a family of fairly well known heterocycles, the interest in the
study of its derivatives continues. Cinnoline compounds demonstrate interesting bioactivity …

A novel protocol for the synthesis of quinolizines (3) and quinolizinium salts (4) from
chromone-3-carboxaldehydes 1 with ethyl 2-(pyridine-2-yl) acetate derivatives 2via an …

α-Carbolines are interesting core structures for designing DNA-interacting small molecules.
However, these compounds are not commercially available and their synthetic methods are …

Quinoliziniums, cationic aromatic heterocycles bearing a quaternary bridgehead nitrogen,
have been widely used as fluorescent dyes, DNA intercalators, ionic liquids etc. A library of …

We present a time-dependent density functional theory computation of the absorption
spectra of one β-carboline system: the harmane molecule in its neutral and cationic forms …

New azaquinolizinium-type cations have been obtained from isochromane. The synthesis
was completed over seven steps and included as the key feature an intramolecular …

Azoarenes are efficient intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry. In this review, the
application of azoarenes for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyles including …
