A biotinyl cyclic naphthalene diimide (biotinyl cNDI) (1), in which biotin is introduced on the cyclic linker chain of cNDI with high G-quadruplex (G4) specificity, was synthesized. 1 was used for binding analysis to G4 DNAs such as c-myc, c-kit, CEGF, or TA-core. The results showed that 1 bind to G4 DNAs with high affinity and, especially, two molecules of 1 bind to c-myc DNA from top and bottom of G4 site at K = 3.9 × 10 M without changing the G4 structure. As a pulldown assay, 1 and streptavidin magnetic beads could be used to recover a c-myc DNA or 120-mer DNA fragment having single c-myc sequence. The qPCR results for the 120-meric DNAs showed that more than 50% of genomic DNA fragments could be recovered by this pulldown assay. The results obtained here might allow the recovery of G4-containing DNA fragments from genomic DNA to analyze the true G4 present in the genome.

The introduction of 4,5-dihydroazuleno[2,1,8-ija]azulene as a central core between two 1,4-dithiafulvene (DTF) units provides a novel class of extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) electron donors. Herein we present the synthesis of such compounds with the azulenoazulene further expanded by annulation to benzene, naphthalene, or thiophene rings. Moreover, unsymmetrical donor-acceptor chromophores with one DTF and one carbonyl at the central core are presented.

In vitro relative cytotoxicity (IC ()/IC () of ()-3-(4'-methylbenzylidene)-4-chromanone () towards human Molt 4/C8 and CEM T-lymphocytes showed a >50-fold increase in comparison to those of the respective tetralone derivative (). On the other hand, such an increase was not observed in the analogous 4-OCH ( and ) derivatives. In order to study whether thiol reactivity-as a possible basis of the mechanism of action-correlates with the observed cytotoxicities, the kinetics of the non-enzyme catalyzed reactions with reduced glutathione (GSH) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) of and were investigated.

Background: Podophyllotoxin (PPT), a highly active compound extracted from the rhizome of Dysosma versipellis (DV), has been used as an effective anti-cancer drug clinically since the 1950s. It possesses various biological activities, including antiviral and antitumor effects. However, its clinical application is severely limited due to its hepatotoxicity, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Compounds targeting non-canonical secondary structures of nucleic acids, known as G-quadruplexes, are highly cytotoxic, both for cancer and healthy cells, because of their action mechanism's lack of appropriate selectivity. The targeted delivery of cytotoxic molecules to cancer cells is a valuable strategy to expand the repertoire of potential drugs, especially for cancer types for which new therapeutic tools are urgently needed, like glioblastoma. In this work, we conjugated a cyclic arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid peptide to a naphthalene diimide, previously described as a highly performing stabilizing ligand for DNA G-quadruplexes, to specifically target glioma cells overexpressing RGD-binding integrin receptors.
