Light on DNA intercalators: Molecular modeling and mutasynthesis were employed to rationally tailor the antitumoral agent chartreusin into a vinyl-substituted derivative. Exposure with visible light dramatically improved antiproliferative activities owing to covalent binding with DNA and induction of apoptosis. The results hold promise for a more efficient chemotherapy, in particular for selectively treating tumors with light probes.
