A combination of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), topoisomerase I DNA unwinding assays, and ethidium bromide displacement studies were employed to investigate the binding of a homologous series of naphthalene diimides (NDI) to DNA. Our results suggest that the nature of the substituent plays a significant role in both the preferred binding mode and relative binding affinity of the compounds of this study. Only intercalative-type binding (K=15±3×10(6)M(-1)) was observed for the NDI with the smallest substituent (trimethyl-ethylamino), while larger members of the series (diethylmethyl-, dipropylmethyl- and dibutylmethyl-ethylamino substituents) adopted an additional binding mode of higher affinity (K(1)=31-78×10(6)M(-1)).
