چکیده

A quaternized trigeminal ligand, 4-[4,6-di(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-(2-triazinyl)]-1-methylpyridine-1-ium hexafluorophosphate (dptmp·PF6), and two derivative V-shaped dinuclear Pt(II) complexes, {[Pt(dien)]₂(dptmp)}(PF₆)₅ (1) and {[Pt(dpa)]₂(dptmp)}(PF₆)₅ (2), were synthesized, characterized and applied to a series of biochemical studies. FRET and SPR analyses showed these compounds, especially Pt(II) complexes, bound more strongly to human telomeric (hTel) G-quadruplex than to promoters (such as c-myc and bcl2) or to the duplex DNA. PCR-stop assays revealed that the Pt(II) complexes could bind to and stabilize G-quadruplex far more effectively than corresponding ligand. CD analyses further indicated the three compounds likely stabilized the formation of mixed-type parallel/antiparallel G-quadruplex structures. Their efficacy as telomerase inhibitors and potential anticancer drugs was explored via TRAP. The IC₅₀ value was determined to be 0.113 ± 0.019 μM for 1, indicating that it is one of the strongest known telomerase inhibitors. These results confirm that both V-shaped dinuclear Pt(II) complexes act as selective G-quadruplex binders and significant telomerase inhibitors.

Platinum squares with high selectivity and affinity for human telomeric G-quadruplexes.

Two new Pt(II) squares with quinoxaline-bridges selectively stabilize human telomeric G-quadruplexes with high binding constants (10(7)-10(9) M(-1)) and an unprecedented binding stoichiometric ratio of Pt(II) square/G-quadruplex (6 : 1). This selectivity is likely due to the Pt(II) squares' cube-like shape. Both Pt(II) squares also show significant telomerase inhibition and anticancer efficacy.

Pt(II) squares as selective and effective human telomeric G-quadruplex binders and potential cancer therapeutics.

A series of four self-assembled Pt(II) molecular squares with 4,4'-dipyridyl or pyrazine bridges, including the previously reported Pt(II) squares [Pt(en)(4,4'-dipyridyl)](4)(NO(3))(8) (1), were investigated for their abilities to act as selective and effective human telomeric (htelo) G-quadruplex binders. FRET and SPR studies demonstrated that Pt(II) squares could discriminate against duplex D...

Targeting Human Telomeric G-Quadruplex DNA and Inhibition of Telomerase Activity With [(dmb)2Ru(obip)Ru(dmb)2]4+

Inhibition of telomerase by inducing/stabilizing G-quadruplex formation is a promising strategy to design new anticancer drugs. We synthesized and characterized a new dinuclear complex [(dmb)2Ru(obip)Ru(dmb)2](4+) (dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, obip = (2-(2-pyridyl)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) with high affinity for both antiparallel and mixed parallel / antiparallel G-quadruplex ...

Identification of G-Quadruplex Inducers Usinga Simple, Inexpensiveand Rapid High Throughput Assay, and TheirInhibition of Human Telomerase

Telomeres are protein and DNA complexes located atchromosome ends. Telomeric DNA is composed of a double stranded region of repetitive DNA followed by single-stranded 3' extension of aG-rich sequence. Single-stranded G-rich sequencescan fold into G-quadruplex structures,and molecules that stabilize G-quadruplexes are known to inhibit the enzyme telomerase and disrupt telomere maintenance. Becau...
