Abstract

The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound, an analogue of the DNA binding region of bleomycin A2, has been determined by X-ray crystallography. All the three independent molecules in an asymmetric unit are approximately planar with fully extended side chains. A computer graphics model-building study has shown that the phenyl group and the second thiazole ring can be intercalated between the base pairs of the double-stranded deoxydinucleoside phosphate d(CpG), and also that the sulphonium cation can interact with a backbone phosphate group. This model is in accord with NMR spectral data.
