Conjugated polymers have been intensively studied due to their unique optical and electronic properties combined with their physical flexibility and scalable bottom up synthesis. Although the bulk qualities of conjugated polymers have been extensively utilized in research and industry, the ability to handle and manipulate conjugated polymers at the nanoscale lacks significantly behind. Here, the toolbox for controlled manipulation of conjugated polymers was expanded through the synthesis of a polyfluorene-DNA graft-type polymer (poly(F-DNA)). The polymer possesses the characteristics associated with the conjugated polyfluorene backbone, but the protruding single-stranded DNA provides the material with an exceptional addressability. This study demonstrates controlled single-molecule patterning of poly(F-DNA), as well as energy transfer between two different polymer–DNA conjugates. Finally, highly efficient DNA-directed quenching of polyfluorene fluorescence was shown.

The anticancer potential of a synthetic 2,3-diarylindole (PCNT13) has been demonstrated in A549 lung cancer cells by inducing both apoptosis and autophagic cell death. In this report, we designed to connect a fluorophore to the compound via a hydrophilic linker for monitoring intracellular localization. The best position for linker attachment was identified from cytotoxicity and effect on cell morphology of newly synthesized PCNT13 derivatives bearing hydrophilic linker. Cytotoxicity and effect on cell morphology related to the parental compound were used to identify the optimum position for linker attachment in the PCNT13 chemical structure. The fluorophore-PCNT13 conjugate was found to localize in the cytoplasm. Microtubules were found to be one of the cytosolic target proteins of PCNT13, as the compound could inhibit tubulin polymerization in vitro. A molecular docking study revealed that PCNT13 binds at the colchicine binding site on the α/β-tubulin heterodimer. The effect of PCNT13 on microtubule dynamics caused cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase as analyzed by flow cytometric analysis.
