Description
Activated thiophene of NCS 652287 was synthesized using methodology cited in the literature for chemically similar thiophene derivatives, specifically 2,2': 5',2"-terthiophene. The activated thiophene is proposed to fatally cross-link DNA in cancer cells and will be tested using specific DNA nucleobases. Thiophene derivatives have also been shown to have anti-microbial and anti-viral properties, as reported in the literature. These elements make activated thiophene derivative essential in the development of anti-cancer treatments.
