Synthesis and binding studies of novel di-substituted phenanthroline compounds with genomic promoter and human telomeric DNA G-quadruplexes.

چکیده
Six novel di-substituted phenanthroline derivatives 5a-7a and 3b-5b have been prepared, and their binding interactions with human telomeric (h-telo) and promoter (c-kit2 and c-myc) G-quadruplex DNAs were investigated. All the compounds are potent stabilisers of the G-quadruplex structures and compounds 3b, 4b, and 5b exhibit high G-quadruplex DNA selectivity over duplex DNA. The binding affinities of these compounds to G-quadruplex DNA are higher than to duplex DNA. CD spectra show that the compound can induce the formation of an anti-parallel structure of the h-telo G-quadruplex. Each h-telo quadruplex binds two compound molecules by the end-stacking mode. Six new compounds are able to inhibit significantly the telomerase activity at low μM concentration.

Specific targeting of telomeric multimeric G-quadruplexes by a new triaryl-substituted imidazole
IZNP-1 Multiple G-quadruplex units in the 3΄-terminal overhang of human telomeric DNA can associate and form multimeric structures. The specific targeting of such distinctive higher-order G-quadruplexes might be a promising strategy for developing selective anticancer agents with fewer side effects. However, thus far, only a few molecules were found to selectively bind to telomeric multimeric G...
متن کاملSynthesis, Binding and Antiviral Properties of Potent Core-Extended Naphthalene Diimides Targeting the HIV-1 Long Terminal Repeat Promoter G-Quadruplexes
We have previously reported that stabilization of the G-quadruplex structures in the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter suppresses viral transcription. Here we sought to develop new G-quadruplex ligands to be exploited as antiviral compounds by enhancing binding toward the viral G-quadruplex structures. We synthesized naphthalene diimide derivatives with a lateral expansion of the aromat...
متن کاملMolecular Recognition of Human Telomeric DNA by Phenanthroline-Based G-Quadruplex Ligands
G-quadruplexes (G4) are non-canonical DNA structures assumed by guanine rich sequences. G4 are stabilized by the presence of cations and are characterized by a high degree of structural polymorphism with different patterns of groove, loop arrangement, strand orientations and stoichiometry. G-rich sequences are over-represented in the promoter regions of many oncogenes as well as at human telome...

Four new di-substituted phenanthroline-based compounds a-d have been designed and prepared, and they have been shown to induce the formation of anti-parallel structure of human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA by CD spectra. FRET assay indicates that the melting temperature increases (ΔT(m) values) of G-quadruplex in buffer (pH 7.4) containing 100 mM NaCl are 31.6, 34.6, 17.8 and 32.6 °C for the comp...
متن کاملDNA and RNA Quadruplex-Binding Proteins
Four-stranded DNA structures were structurally characterized in vitro by NMR, X-ray and Circular Dichroism spectroscopy in detail. Among the different types of quadruplexes (i-Motifs, minor groove quadruplexes, G-quadruplexes, etc.), the best described are G-quadruplexes which are featured by Hoogsteen base-paring. Sequences with the potential to form quadruplexes are widely present in genome o...
