Benzyl (5-hydroxypentyl)carbamate

Benzyl (5-hydroxypentyl)carbamate

Benzyl (5-hydroxypentyl)carbamate is a linker capable of repairing damaged DNA by binding to the 5'-hydroxyl group on the sugar backbone. It can also bind to DNA ligands and can inhibit cell proliferation in resistant cell lines. However, benzyl (5-hydroxypentyl)carbamate is toxic to cells and can also cause DNA damage and strand breakage.
