A series of three platinum(II) phenanthroimidazoles each containing a protonable side-chain appended from the phenyl moiety through copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) were evaluated for their capacities to bind to human telomere, c-Myc, and c-Kit derived G-quadruplexes. The side-chain has been optimized to enable a multivalent binding mode to G-quadruplex motifs, which would potentially result in selective targeting. Molecular modeling, high-throughput fluorescence intercalator displacement (HT-FID) assays, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) studies demonstrate that complex 2 exhibits significantly slower dissociation rates compared to platinum phenanthroimidazoles without side-chains and other reported G-quadruplex binders. Complex 2 showed little cytotoxicity in HeLa and A172 cancer cell lines, consistent with the fact that it does not follow a telomere-targeting pathway. Preliminary mRNA analysis shows that 2 specifically interacts with the ckit promoter region. Overall, this study validates 2 as a useful molecular probe for c-Kit related cancer pathways. Bound to impress: A series of three platinum(II) phenanthroimidazoles each containing a protonable side-chain appended from the phenyl moiety through copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), was evaluated for their capacity to bind to human telomere, c-Myc, and c-Kit derived G-quadruplexes (see scheme). The presence of the side-chain enables a multivalent binding mode to G-quadruplex motifs. Copyright

Nine carbocyclic analogues of mono- and bis-lexitropsins and two analogues of pentamidine with unsubstituted N-terminal amine group were synthesized. We have investigated the cytotoxic activity of new aromatic analogues of DNA binding ligands in MCF-7 breast cancer cells and assessed their ability to act as inhibitors of topoisomerase I and II. These studies indicate that aromatic analogues of bis-netropsin contain two identical units tethered by alkyloxyl chains are a potent catalytic inhibitor of both topoisomerases and exhibit moderate cytotoxicity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
