ABSTRACT:
New psoralen compounds have been synthesized. The compounds all include the addition of substituent groups at the 4' position on the basic trioxsalen structure. Specifically, the compounds have the structure: ##STR1## wherein X may be any desired substituent such as halogenated alkyls, alcohols, ethers, aminoalkyls, etc. The new substituted psoralens exhibit high solubility in aqueous solution and low dissociation constants from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), as well as a reactivity with ribonucleic acids (RNA). The psoralen-DNA and psoralen-RNA adducts are useful as a substrate for studying the secondary structures of nucleic acids.
