Induction and stabilization G-quadruplex formed by can downregulate expression. In present study, we found that a derivative designed synthesized our laboratory, binds to stabilizes vitro thereby inhibiting double-stranded DNA replication, downregulating gene expression arresting cancer cell proliferation. PCR termination experiments showed QPB-15e blocked replication inducing or stabilizing G-quadruplex. FRET-melting further confirmed improved stability CD spectroscopy indicated compound interacted directly with G-rich sequence. competitive dialysis experiments, bound preferentially quadruplex various structures, especially within region. Moreover, reduced weights volumes tumors transplanted into nude mice. These findings strongly suggest is ligand properties, may be efficacious for treating humans.
