This report describes the synthesis of C-rich sequence, cytosine pentamer, of aep-PNA and its biophysical studies for the formation of hybrid DNA:aep-PNAi-motif structure with DNA cytosine pentamer (dC5) under acidic pH conditions. Herein, the CD/UV/NMR/ESI-Mass studies strongly support the formation of stable hybrid DNA i-motif structure with aep-PNA even near acidic conditions. Hence aep-PNA C-rich sequence cytosine could be considered as potential DNA i-motif stabilizing agents in vivo conditions.

[formula: see text] The replacement of the glycyl component in the peptide nucleic acid (PNA) backbone by a prolyl unit bearing a nucleobase leads to the aminoethylprolyl (aep) PNAs, which are chiral and cationic. The homooligomeric aepPNA binds to complementary DNA sequences with high affinity and sequence specificity, forming highly stable triplexes.
