Abstract
Photochemo and photodynamic therapies are minimally invasive approaches for the treatment of cancers and powerful weapons for competing bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Synthetic and naturally occurring quinazolinones are considered privileged anticancer and antibacterial agents, with several of them to have emerged as commercially available drugs. In the present study, applying a single-step green microwave irradiation mediated protocol we have synthesized eleven quinazolinon-4(3H)-ones, from cheap readily available anthranilic acids, in very good yields and purity. These products were irradiated in the presence of pBR322 plasmid DNA under UVB, UVA and visible light. Four of the compounds proved to be very effective DNA photocleavers, at low concentrations, being time and concentration dependent as well as pH independent. Participation of reactive oxygen species was related to the substitution of quinazolinone derivatives. 6-Nitro-quinazolinone in combination with UVA irradiation was found to be in vitro photodestructive for three cell lines; glioblastoma (U87MG and T98G) and mainly melanoma (A-375). Thus, certain appropriately substituted quinazolinones may serve as new lead photosensitizers for the development of promising biotechnological applications and as novel photochemo and photodynamic therapeutics.

Abstract
A number of p-pyridinyl oxime carbamate derivatives were prepared upon the reaction of the corresponding oximes with isocyanates. These novel compounds reacted photochemically in the presence of supercoiled plasmid DNA. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that the substituent on the imine group was not affecting the extend of the DNA damage, whereas the substituent of the carbamate group was critical, with the halogenated derivatives to be able to cause extensive single and double stranded DNA cleavages, acting as "synthetic nucleases", independently of oxygen and pH. Calf thymus-DNA affinity studies showed a good-to-excellent affinity of selected both active and non-active derivatives. Preliminary theoretical studies were performed, in an effort to explain the reasons why some derivatives cause photocleavage and some others not, which were experimentally verified using triplet state activators and quenchers. These theoretical studies seem to allow the prediction of the activity of derivatives able to pass intersystem crossing to their triplet energy state and thus create radicals able to damage DNA. With this study, it is shown that oxime carbamate derivatives have the potential to act as novel effective photobase generating DNA-photocleavers, and are proposed as new leads for "on demand" biotechnological applications in drug discovery and medicine.

Abstract
Two series of oxime esters containing the 2,6-diazaanthracene-9,10-dione bis-(O-benzoyloxime) and 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one O-9-benzoyloxime moieties have been synthesized and tested as photo-induced DNA cleaving agents. All these compounds were found to cleave DNA upon irradiation with 312 nm UV light. The structure-activity relationship of these molecules for DNA cleavage was established. A plausible reaction mechanism is also proposed.
