Duocarmycin GA, an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) toxin and a DNA alkylating agent, effectively targets and binds in the minor groove of DNA. It is particularly potent against multi-drug resistant cell lines, offering a strategic approach in combating resistance.
Ga(III)protoporphyrin-IX, a model for interporphyrin interactions in malaria pigment, possesses potent antibacterial effects against gram-negative, gram-positive, and acid-fast bacteria. It exhibits high solubility in methanol (MeOH) and serves as a malarial pigment analogue for drug development, as well as a potential antibacterial agent.
