Structure-activity studies were employed to investigate the stabilization of DNA-topoisomerases I and II covalent binary complexes by topopyrone analogues. The synthesis of five new topopyrone derivatives and study of their ability to stabilize DNA-topoisomerase I and DNA-topoisomerase II covalent binary complexes are described. The biochemical assays suggest that the orientation of the fused 1,4-pyrone ring and halogen substituents contribute importantly to the overall potency of the topopyrones as topoisomerase poisons.
