• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  The synthesis of a novel group of quinacridine-based ligands (MMQs) is described along with an evaluation of their G-quadruplex binding properties. A set of biophysical assays was applied to characterize their interaction with DNA quadruplexes: FRET-melting experiments and equilibrium microdialysis were used to evaluate their quadruplex affinity and their ability to discriminate quadruplexes across a broad panel of DNA structures. All data collected support the proposed model of interaction of these compounds with G-quadruplexes, which is furthermore confirmed by a solution structure determined by 2D NMR experiments. Finally, the activity of the MMQ series against tumor cell growth is reported, and the data support the potential of quadruplex-interactive compounds for use in anticancer approaches.
