This review deals with recent progress in the synthesis and evaluation of our telomestatin‐inspired macrocyclic polyoxazoles as G‐quadruplex (G4) ligands. The hexaoxazole derivatives (6OTDs) interact with and stabilize G4‐forming oligonucleotides, depending upon the character of the side chain functional groups. Cationic functional groups are particularly effective due to their secondary interaction with phosphate in the DNA backbone. On the other hand, heptaoxazole derivatives (7OTDs) showed potent G4‐binding and stabilization activity regardless of the functional groups on the side chain. A caged G4 ligand, Y2Nv2‐6OTD ( 7 ), and a fluorescent G4 ligand, L1BOD‐7OTD ( 13 ), have been synthesized. 相似文献

G‐quadruplex (G4)‐forming sequences are prevalent in the genome and are considered to play important roles in gene regulation, and hence have been viewed as potential therapeutic targets in oncology. However, the structures and functions of most G4s in the genome are poorly understood. Therefore, the development of fluorescent probes and ligands for G4s is important for G4 research and drug discovery. Herein, we report a new G4 ligand, 2,9‐bis[4‐(4‐methylpiperazin‐1‐yl)styryl]‐1,10‐phenanthroline (BMSP), which was synthesized by a simple process. BMSP exhibits almost no fluorescence in aqueous buffer. The interaction of BMSP with G4s greatly enhances its fluorescence with a large Stokes’ shift of 160 nm. Antiparallel human telomeric G4s exhibit the strongest binding affinity (Kd≈0.13 μm ) to BMSP and induce a fluorescence enhancement of up to 150‐fold. BMSP binds to G4s through π–π stacking on the terminal G‐quartets. BMSP can enter live cells, and it strongly inhibits the growth of cancer cells rather than causing cell death. Our results suggest that BMSP has the potential to serve both as a fluorescent probe for some G4s and as a chemotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment. 相似文献

Polycyclic azoniahetarenes were employed to determine the effect of the structure of unsubstituted polyaromatic ligands on their quadruplex‐DNA binding properties. The interactions of three isomeric diazoniadibenzo[b,k]chrysenes ( 4 a – c ), diazoniapentaphene ( 5 ), diazoniaanthra[1,2‐a]anthracene ( 6 ), and tetraazoniapentapheno[6,7‐h]pentaphene ( 3 ) with quadruplex DNA were examined by DNA melting studies (FRET melting) and fluorimetric titrations. In general, penta‐ and hexacyclic azoniahetarenes bind to quadruplex DNA (Kb≈106 M ?1) even in the absence of additional functional side chains. The binding modes of 4 a – c and 3 were studied in more detail by ligand displacement experiments, isothermal titration calorimetry, and CD and NMR spectroscopy. All experimental data indicate that terminal π stacking of the diazoniachrysenes to the quadruplex is the major binding mode; however, because of different electron distributions of the π systems of each isomer, these ligands align differently in the binding site to achieve ideal binding interactions. It is proposed that tetraazonia ligand 3 binds to the quadruplex by terminal stacking with a small portion of its π system, whereas a significant part of the bulky ligand most likely points outside the quadruplex structure, and is thus partially placed in the grooves. Notably, 3 and the known tetracationic porphyrin TMPyP4 exhibit almost the same binding properties towards quadruplex DNA, with 3 being more selective for quadruplex than for duplex DNA. Overall, studies on azonia‐type hetarenes enable understanding of some parameters that govern the quadruplex‐binding properties of parent ligand systems. Since unsubstituted ligands were employed in this study, complementary and cooperative effects of additional substituents, which may interfere with the ligand properties, were eliminated. 相似文献

We have evaluated the conformational, thermal, and kinetic properties of d(TGGGGT) analogues with one or five of the ribose nucleotides replaced with the carbohydrate residues hexitol nucleic acid (HNA), cyclohexenyl nucleic acid (CeNA), or altritol nucleic acid (ANA). All of the modified oligonucleotides formed G‐quadruplexes, but substitution with the six‐membered rings resulted in a mixture of G‐quadruplex structures. UV and CD melting analyses showed that the structure formed by d(TGGGGT) modified with HNA was stabilized whereas that modified with CeNA was destabilized, relative to the structure formed by the unmodified oligonucleotide. Substitution at the fourth base of the G‐tract with ANA resulted in a greater stabilization effect than substitution at the first G residue; substitution with five ANA residues resulted in significant stabilization of the G‐quadruplex. A single substitution with CeNA at the first base of the G‐tract or five substitutions with HNA resulted in striking deceleration or acceleration of G‐quadruplex formation, respectively. Our results shed light on the effect of the sugar moiety on the properties of G‐quadruplex structures. 相似文献

Assembly of G‐quadruplexes guided by DNA triplexes in a controlled manner is achieved for the first time. The folding of triplex sequences in acidic conditions brings two separated guanine‐rich sequences together and subsequently a G‐quadruplex structure is formed in the presence of K+. Based on this novel platform, label‐free fluorescent logic gates, such as AND, INHIBIT, and NOR, are constructed with ions as input and the fluorescence of a G‐quadruplex‐specific fluorescent probe NMM as output. 相似文献

Delineation of G‐Quadruplex Alkylation Sites Mediated by 3,6‐Bis(1‐methyl‐4‐vinylpyridinium iodide)carbazole‐Aniline Mustard Conjugates 下载免费PDF全文

A new G‐quadruplex (G‐4)‐directing alkylating agent BMVC‐C3M was designed and synthesized to integrate 3,6‐bis(1‐methyl‐4‐vinylpyridinium iodide)carbazole (BMVC) with aniline mustard. Various telomeric G‐4 structures (hybrid‐2 type and antiparallel) and an oncogene promoter, c‐MYC (parallel), were constructed to react with BMVC‐C3M, yielding 35 % alkylation yield toward G‐4 DNA over other DNA categories (<6 %) and high specificity under competition conditions. Analysis of the intact alkylation adducts by electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI‐MS) revealed the stepwise DNA alkylation mechanism of aniline mustard for the first time. Furthermore, the monoalkylation sites and intrastrand cross‐linking sites were determined and found to be dependent on G‐4 topology based on the results of footprinting analysis in combination with mass spectroscopic techniques and in silico modeling. The results indicated that BMVC‐C3M preferentially alkylated at A15 (H26), G12 (H24), and G2 (c‐MYC), respectively, as monoalkylated adducts and formed A15–C3M–A21 (H26), G12–C3M–G4 (H24), and G2–C3M–G4/G17 (c‐MYC), respectively, as cross‐linked dialkylated adducts. Collectively, the stability and site‐selective cross‐linking capacity of BMVC‐C3M provides a credible tool for the structural and functional characterization of G‐4 DNAs in biological systems. 相似文献

A trap that closes with a “click” : The copper‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition can occur in different G‐quadruplex structures (see scheme). The species trapped by the click reaction can then be separated and analyzed. By using this approach, a DNA–RNA hybrid‐type G‐quadruplex structure formed by human telomeric DNA and RNA sequences was detected.

The interactions of a dicarbocyanine dye 3,3′‐diethylthiadicarbocyanine, DiSC2(5) , with DNA G‐quadruplexes were studied by means of a combination of various spectroscopic techniques. Aggregation of excess dye as a result of its positive charge is promoted by the presence of the polyanionic quadruplex structure. Specific high‐affinity binding to the parallel quadruplex of the MYC promoter sequence involves stacking of DiSC2(5) on the external G‐tetrads; the 5′‐terminal tetrad is the favored binding site. Significant energy transfer between DNA and the dye in the UV spectral region is observed upon DiSC2(5) binding. The transfer efficiency strongly depends on the DNA secondary structure as well as on the G‐quadruplex topology. These photophysical features enable the selective detection of DNA quadruplexes through sensitized DiSC2(5) fluorescence in the visible region. 相似文献

G‐quadruplexes are four‐stranded nucleic acid structures that are built from consecutively stacked guanine tetrad (G‐tetrad) assemblies. The simultaneous incorporation of two guanine base lesions, xanthine (X) and 8‐oxoguanine (O), within a single G‐tetrad of a G‐quadruplex was recently shown to lead to the formation of a stable G?G?X?O tetrad. Herein, a judicious introduction of X and O into a human telomeric G‐quadruplex‐forming sequence is shown to reverse the hydrogen‐bond polarity of the modified G‐tetrad while preserving the original folding topology. The control exerted over G‐tetrad polarity by joint X?O modification will be valuable for the design and programming of G‐quadruplex structures and their properties. 相似文献

A photoreactive molecular dye targeting the G‐quadruplex nucleic acid (G4) of the human telomeric sequence Tel22, and several mutated analogues, was activated by green light (λ=532 nm). Highly selective covalent modification of G4 versus single‐stranded and double‐stranded DNA was achieved with efficiency up to 64 %. The phenoxyl radical was generated and detected by laser‐flash photolysis as a reactive intermediate that targeted loop thymine residues. These insights may suggest a non‐invasive tool for selective nucleic acid tagging and “pull‐down” cellular applications. 相似文献

A new modular approach to an artificial light‐harvesting antenna system is presented. The approach involves the hierarchical self‐assembly of porphyrin acceptor molecules to G‐quadruplexes tethered to coumarin donor moieties. 相似文献
