4-Hydroxy-5-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-[1,3]benzodioxolo[5,6-c]pyrrolo[1,2-f]-phenanthridium chloride (NK314) is a benzo[c] phenanthridine alkaloid that inhibits topoisomerase IIα, leading to the generation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and activating the G(2) checkpoint pathway. The purpose of the present studies was to investigate the DNA intercalating properties of NK314, to evaluate the DN...
