Efficient DNA Cleavage by Acridine Conjugates of Mono- and Dinuclear Cu(II) Complexes
There have been reported suitably designed, simple monoand dinuclear metal complexes which are efficient in hydrolyzing phosphate esters including DNA. We have previously reported the dinuclear Cu(II)2L1 complex (L1: 1,3-bis(1,4,7triaza-1-cyclononyl)propane) efficiently hydrolyzed DNA, producing nicked and linearized DNA over the mononuclear CuL2 complex (L2: 1,4,7-triazacyclononane). We were i...
متن کاملSynthesis of Acridine-based DNA Bis-intercalating Agents
Methods for the synthesis of N1, N8-bis(9-acridinyl)-N4-(4-hydroxybenzyl)spermidine and N1, N7-(hydroxybenzyl)-bis-(3-aminopropyl)amine were investigated. Thus monocyanoethylation of 4-methoxybenzylamine followed by treatment with 4chlorobutyronitrile gave the dinitrile N-(2-cyanoethyl)-N-(3-cyanopropyl)-4-methoxybenzylamine. Subsequent in situ reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gave the ...
متن کاملSupercoiling DNA Locates Mismatches.
We present a method of detecting sequence defects by supercoiling DNA with magnetic tweezers. The method is sensitive to a single mismatched base pair in a DNA sequence of several thousand base pairs. We systematically compare DNA molecules with 0 to 16 adjacent mismatches at 1 M monovalent salt and 3.6 pN force and show that under these conditions, a single plectoneme forms and is stably pinne...
متن کاملStructural basis of DNA quadruplex recognition by an acridine drug.
The crystal structure of a complex between the bimolecular human telomeric quadruplex d(TAGGGTTAGGGT)2 and the experimental anticancer drug BRACO-19, has been determined, to 2.5 A resolution. The binding site for the BRACO-19 molecule is at the interface of two parallel-folded quadruplexes, sandwiched between a G-tetrad surface and a TATA tetrad, and held in the site by networks of water molecu...
متن کاملRecognition and discrimination of DNA quadruplexes by acridine-peptide conjugates.
We have explored a series of trisubstituted acridine-peptide conjugates for their ability to recognize and discriminate between DNA quadruplexes derived from the human telomere, and the c-kit and N-ras proto-oncogenes. Quadruplex affinity was measured as the peptide sequences were varied, together with their substitution position on the acridine, and the identity of the C-terminus (acid or amid...
