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.

1-Methyl-4-nitro-2-trichloroacetylpyrrole 5, a new precursor for the syntheses of oligo-N-methylpyrrolecarboxamide antibiotics and their analogues, was prepared with facility. The versatility of 5 was demonstrated by the syntheses of oligopeptides 16-19.
