Abstract: | The crystal structures of 4,6-dimethyltetrahydrobenzoangelicin (THBA), a furocoumarin analog, and of its furan-side cis-syn cycloadduct with thymine formed in the photoreaction with DNA, have been determined. The crystal structure of the latter compound contained only one enantiomeric form corresponding to the addition to a 5'-XpT site. Contrary to most psoralen derivatives studied, THBA showed higher photoreactivity toward synthetic oligonucleotides containing that sequence than toward those with the 5'-TpX sequence. |
