The structure of synthesized compounds is established on basis of data obtained from the spectroscopic techniques such as <sup>1</sup>H NMR, <sup>13</sup>C NMR, FT-IR and mass. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their DNA photocleavage activity at 40 μg/μl concentration by agarose gel electrophoresis method.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The synthesized compounds 5e showed complete cleavage of DNA while 5a, 5b and 6e showed significant cleavage potential.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>A series of novel hydrazones bearing quinoline and pyrimidine moiety has been synthesized and well characterized on the basis of spectroscopic data and further evaluated for their DNA photocleavage activity. It has been observed that compounds having bromo and thio group displayed good activity.</p> ER -
