Abstract

Seven new amino- and guanidino-substituted steroids have been synthesized from bile acid precursors, either deoxycholic acid or lithocholic acid. Their DNA binding properties have been examined using an ethidium displacement assay, through studies of hyperchromicity and thermal denaturation, and by circular dichroism. Comparison is made to simple aliphatic polyamines such as putrescine, 1,12-diaminododecane, spermidine, and spermine.
