A novel series of trisubstituted acridines were synthesized with the aim of mimicking the effects of BRACO19. These compounds were synthesized by modifying the molecular structure of BRACO19 at positions 3 and 6 with heteroacyclic moieties. All of the derivatives presented in the study exhibited stabilizing effects on the human telomeric DNA quadruplex. UV-vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism, linear dichroism and viscosimetry were used in order to study the nature of the DNA binding in more detail. The results show that all of the novel derivatives were able to fold the single-stranded DNA sequences into antiparallel G-quadruplex structures, with derivative 15 exhibiting the highest stabilizing capability. Cell cycle analysis revealed that a primary trend of the "braco"-like derivatives was to arrest the cells in the S- and G2M-phases of the cell cycle within the first 72h, with derivative 13 and BRACO19 proving particularly effective in suppressing cell proliferation. All studies derivatives were less toxic to human fibroblast cell line in comparison with HT 29 cancer cell line.

Background: Triazoles are a class of aza-heterocycles with broad spectrum of biological importance. The synthetic tunability of the triazole moiety allows for the development of new pharmacophores with applications as drugs to contend with the burden of cancer.
Objective: In this study, we aimed to develop a series of N-aryltriazole and N-acridinyltriazole molecular hybrids and evaluate their potential as anticancer agents.

A series of new 3,6,9-trisubstituted acridine derivatives with fluorine substituents on phenyl ring were synthesized and their interaction with calf thymus DNA was investigated. Analysis using UV-Vis absorbance spectra provided valuable information about the formation of the acridine-DNA complex. In addition, compounds 8b and 8d were found to display an increased binding affinity (K = 2.

Lung resistance-related protein (LRP) is a human major vault protein (MVP) implicated in drug resistance of cancer cells in a cell-type dependent manner. The primary goal of the study was to understand the role(s) of LRP in doxorubicin (DOX) resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and the underlying working mechanisms. In the study, the roles of LRP in the regulation of DOX dynamics, nuclear import of minor vault proteins (vault poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, vPARP and telomerase associated protein-1, TEP-1) and DOX-mediated cytotoxicity were examined in CH27 and H460 cells.

The redox mechanism of two trisubstituted triazole-linked phenyl derivatives (CL41 and CL42) and a disubstituted triazole-linked phenyl derivative (CL2r50) were studied using cyclic, differential pulse and square wave voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode. The CL41, CL42 and CL2r50 oxidation is a complex, pH-dependent irreversible process involving the formation of electroactive products that undergo two consecutive reversible oxidation reactions. The DNA interaction with CL41, CL42 and CL2r50 was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry using the dsDNA-electrochemical biosensor and in DNA/trisubstituted triazole incubated solutions.
