Targeting Loop Adenines in G‐Quadruplex by a Selective Oxirane

Abstract: Caught in the oxirane: Naphthalene diimides conjugated to a quinone methide and an oxirane have been synthesized and investigated as selective DNA G-quadruplex alkylating agents. The oxirane derivative generates a stable adduct with a G-quadruplex and shows selective alkylation of the loop adenines, as illustrated

“…In the last decade, a large number of studies have exploited the naphthalene diimide (NDI) moiety as a G4‐binding motif, taking advantage of its synthetic accessibility, optoelectronic, G4 binding, and sensing properties . Tri‐ and tetrasubstituted NDIs have been broadly explored NDIs due to their potency and duplex versus G4 selectivity, and have proven to be effective cores for multimodal reactive and photoreactive NDI conjugates, and even targeting human medullary thyroid cancer . Tetrasubstituted NDIs have shown bimodal fluorescence and photocytotoxicity, high affinity for hTel G4 DNA, antiproliferative potency in pancreatic cancer cells and inhibition of telomerase activity …”

“…Chemical agents capable of inducing ICLs have been developed for biological applications, such as for DNA damage and repair studies, [15] as anticancer agents, [6] for nucleic acid detection, [7,8] for targeting telomeric G-quadruplex structures, [9,10] and for construction of DNA nanomaterials. [11] Over the past few decades, several research groups have developed novel chemical methods for inducing ICL formation, such as photoirradiation, oxidation, reduction, fluoride induction, and H 2 O 2 induction.…”

“…[22][23][24] The assay was performed using a guanine-rich DNA sequence that is accepted as a model of human telomeric G-quadruplex showing the peculiar TTAGGG repeat. 18 This sequence, from here on called "GQ" (5' -AGG GTT AGG GTT AGG GTT AGG GT -3', average mass 7270.774 Da), was incubated with the samples according to the conditions reported in the experimental part and in the Supplementary Material.…”
