摘要: A series of tetrasubstituted naphthalene diimide compounds with N-methylpiperazine end groups has been synthesized and evaluated as G-quadruplex ligands. They have high affinity selectivity for telomeric DNA over duplex DNA. CD studies show that they induce formation a parallel topology. inhibit the binding hPOT1 topoisomerase IIIα to telomerase activity in MCF7 cells. The potent panel cancer cell lines, typical IC(50) values ∼0.1 μM, up 100-fold lower toxicity normal human fibroblast line.
