Abstract A variety of naphthalimide hydroperoxides as novel photochemical DNA cleavers were synthesized and evaluated. Their photochemical DNA-cleaving abilities depend on the substituents on the aromatic moiety. The DNA-cleaving differences of these hydroperoxides may result from the differences of the intercalating ability of the naphthalene moiety. X-ray single crystal structure of a representative compound 1 was determined, and showed that all endocyclic atoms were coplanar, indicating a structural basis for potential and efficient DNA intercalation by 1.
