G-quadruplex as a therapeutic target to develop novel anti-cancer agents has attracted a growing interest. Among all the ligands of G-quadruplexes, pyridostatin derivatives play a very important role. Here, we first reported the recognition of the fundamental skeleton pyridostatin I, which was simply synthesized. Compared to pyridostatin II comprising terminal amino groups, pyridostatin I selectively stabilized intramolecular anti-parallel telomeric G-quadruplex by raising the melting temperature about 20 °C at 295 nm of H22, while pyridostatin II preferred to stabilize intermolecular parallel telomeric G-quadruplex by raising the melting temperature about 25 °C at 265 nm of H7, maybe due to the suited size measurements between G-quadruplex hosts and pyridostatin guests. MTT assays indicated that pyridostatin II had better cytotoxic effects against HCT-8 and A549 cell lines obviously, indicating positively charged side chains may be required for improving the water solubility and cellular uptake of the apolar central skeleton.

We describe a novel synthetic small molecule which shows an unprecedented stabilization of the human telomeric G-quadruplex with high selectivity relative to double-stranded DNA. We report that this compound can be used in vitro to inhibit telomerase activity and to uncap human POT1 (protection of telomeres 1) from the telomeric G-overhang. We also show that the small molecule G-quadruplex binder induces a partial alteration of shelterin through POT1 uncapping from telomeres in human HT1080 cancer cells and the presence of γH2AX foci colocalized at telomeres.

The synthesis, biophysical and biological evaluation of a series of G-quadruplex interacting small molecules based on a N,N′-bis(quinolinyl) pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide scaffold is described. The synthetic analogues were evaluated for their ability to stabilize telomeric G-quadruplex DNA, some of which showed very high stabilization potential associated with high selectivity over double-stranded DNA. The compounds exhibited growth arrest of cancer cells with detectable selectivity over normal cells. Long-time growth arrest was accompanied by senescence, where telomeric dysfunction is a predominant mechanism together with the accumulation of restricted DNA damage sites in the genome. Our data emphasize the potential of a senescence-mediated anticancer therapy through the use of G-quadruplex targeting small molecules based on the molecular framework of pyridostatin.
