Quinaldopeptin is a quinomycin antibiotic. It is active against a variety of bacteria, including S. pyogenes, S. aureus, C. perfringens, S. faecalis, E. coli, and K. pneumoniae (MICs = 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, 3.1 and 6.3 μg/ml, respectively). It is cytotoxic to B16/F10 and Moser cells (IC50s = 0.0008 and 0.04 μg/ml, respectively) and increases survival in a P388 leukemia mouse model. Quinaldopeptin is a bis-intercalator depsipeptide (NPBID) that binds to and intercalates into DNA (Kd = 32 nM).

Amustaline (S-303) dihydrochloride is a nucleic acid-targeted alkylator recognized for its efficacy as a pathogen inactivation agent in blood components containing red blood cells. This compound comprises three key elements: an acridine anchor (a non-covalently bonding intercalator targeting nucleic acids), an effector (a bis-alkylator group that interacts with nucleophiles), and a linker (a flexible carbon chain with a labile ester bond, hydrolyzing at neutral pH to non-reactive products).
