Synthesis of potent G-quadruplex binders of macrocyclic heptaoxazole and evaluation of their activities

Nucleic Acids Symp Ser (Oxf). 2009:(53):231-2. doi: 10.1093/nass/nrp116.

Abstract

Guanine-rich DNA sequences form unique three-dimensional conformation known as G-quadruplexes (G-q). G-q structures have been found in telomere and in some oncogene promoter. Recently, it was suggested that G-q showed some biological activities including telomere shortening and transcriptional regulation. In this paper, we synthesized selective G-q binders and evaluated of their biological activities.
