Abstract

Biologically active 4-nitro-substituted 1,3-diaryltriazene, a chemical analogue of 1,3-bis(4'-amidinophenyl)-triazene-berenil®, belongs to the novel, chemically modified class of potent antitumor agents. Its structural characterization by X-ray analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy is performed to determine molecular overall conformation in view of its possible interaction to DNA
