Phenanthroline-polyamine conjugates were synthesized by cross-linking of 1,10-phenanthroline to branched polyamines. The conjugates interacted with DNA strongly, and cleaved plasmid DNA hydrolytically without any metal ions under physiological conditions. The phenanthroline-polyamine conjugates also cleaved linear 30mer DNA at the bulged-out region without metal ions under physiologic conditions.
