Synthesis of distamycin a polyamides targeting G-quadruplex DNA

A number of amide-linked oligopyrroles based on distamycin molecules have been synthesized by solid-state methods, and their interactions with a human intramolecular G-quadruplex have been measured by a melting procedure. Several of these molecules show an enhanced ratio of quadruplex vs. duplex DNA binding compared to distamycin itself, including one with a 2,5-disubstituted pyrrole group. Quadruplex affinity increases with the number of pyrrole groups, and it is suggested that this is consistent with a mixed groove/G-quartet stacking binding mode. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2006.

Novel pharmaceutically/cosmetically-active polyaromatic amides have the structural formula (I): STR1 wherein Z is a radical --CO--NH-- or --NH--CO--, and are useful for the treatment of a wide variety of disease states, whether human or veterinary, for example dermatological, rheumatic, respiratory, cardiovascular and ophthalmological disorders, as well as for the treatment of mammalian skin and hair conditions/disorders.
Design, synthesis, DNA binding, and biological activity of a series of DNA minor-groove-binding intercalating drugs

, p. 910 - 917 (2007/10/02)
A group of pseudopeptides, molecular combination of the natural antitumor agents distamycin or netropsin and the anilinoacridine chromophore (which is related to the synthetic antileukemic drug amsacrine) has been synthesized. Their DNA binding properties were determined and discussed in terms of their structural differences and in relation to their observed base-dependent binding. Binding data are consistent with a model in which the acridine nucleus occupies an intercalation site and the netropsin or distamycin residue resides in the DNA minor groove. Cytostatic and cytotoxic activities against a murine cell line are reported, as well as significant differences in the inhibition of DNA synthesis.
Synthesis, DNA binding, and biological evaluation of synthetic precursors and novel analogues of netropsin

A series of oligopeptides have been synthesized that are structurally related to the natural agent netropsin. The binding constants to double-stranded polynucleotides as well as the cytostatic activity against both murine human tumor cell lines and the in
