Extended ethidium bromide analogue as a triple helix intercalator: synthesis, photophysical properties and nucleic acids binding.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ethidium bromide has been extended by fusing an additional aromatic ring resulting in a larger intercalator with increased affinity for poly r(A) x r(U), poly d(A) x d(T) and triple helices when compared to the parent heterocycle.

Synthesis, photophysical properties, and nucleic acid binding of phenanthridinium derivatives based on ethidium.
A series of substituted phenanthridine derivatives has been synthesized by converting the amines at the 3- and 8-positions of ethidium bromide into guanidine, pyrrole, urea, and various substituted ureas. The resulting derivatives exhibit unique spectral properties that change upon binding nucleic acids. The compounds were analyzed for their ability to inhibit the HIV-1 Rev-Rev Response Element...
متن کاملBinding of ethidium bromide to a DNA triple helix. Evidence for intercalation.
The interaction of ethidium, a DNA intercalator, with the poly(dA).poly(dT) duplex and the poly (dA).2poly(dT) triplex has been investigated by a variety of spectrophotometric and hydrodynamic techniques. The fluorescence of ethidium is increased when either the duplex or triplex form is present. Binding constants, determined from absorbance measurements, indicate that binding to the triple hel...
متن کاملThe binding mode of drugs to the TAR RNA of HIV-1 studied by electric linear dichroism.
For the first time, the interaction between a series of small molecules and the TAR RNA of HIV-1 has been investigated by electric linear dichroism (ELD). The compounds tested include the DNA intercalating drugs proflavine and ethidium bromide and an amsacrine-4-carboxamide DNA-threading intercalator as well as the AT-specific DNA minor groove binders netropsin, Hoechst 33258, berenil and DAPI....
متن کاملComparative studies of the binding of ethidium bromide and its photoreactive analogues to nucleic acids by fluorescence and rapid kinetics.
The binding studies of the interaction of ethidium bromide with DNA have been hampered by its reversibility, which prevents direct isolation and thus characterization of the complex. The recent development of photoaffinity labeling has provided a means to circumvent this problem. However, to be useful as a probe for the parent compound, a photosensitive analogue must be shown to interact in viv...
متن کاملA fiber optic biosensor for fluorimetric detection of triple-helical DNA.
A fiber optic biosensor was used for the fluorimetric detection of T/AT triple-helical DNA formation. The surfaces of two sets of fused silica optical fibers were functionalized with hexaethylene oxide linkers from which decaadenylic acid oligonucleotides were grown in the 3'to 5'and 5'to 3'direction, respectively, using a DNA synthesizer. Fluorescence studies of hybridization showed unequivoca...
