“…Consequently, various telomestatin-related macrocyclic polyoxazole compounds have been synthesized [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. We have independently developed macrocyclic hexaoxazole-type telomestatin derivatives of 6OTDs as G4 ligands, and some of them showed potent telomerase-inhibitory activity, as well as G4-stabilizing activity ( Figure 2 a) [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ].…”
