Targeting guanine (G) quadruplex structures is an exciting new strategy with potential for controlling gene expression and designing anticancer agents. Guanine-rich peptide nucleic acid (PNA) oligomers bind to homologous DNA and RNA to form hetero-G-

The key dinitrile intermediates 4a–d were synthesized by reaction of phenacyl bromide 1 and the appropriate 2-amino-5-bromopyridines to yield 3a–d. Suzuki coupling of 3a–d with 4-cyanophenylboronic acid yielded the 2,6-bis(4-cyanophenyl)-imidaz

Combining structure-specific recognition of nucleic acids with limited sequence reading is a promising method to reduce the size of the recognition unit required to achieve the necessary selectivity and binding affinity to control function. It has be

Dicationic guanidine, N-alkylguanidine, and reversed amidine derivatives of fused ring systems have been synthesized from their corresponding bis-amines. DNA binding studies suggest that the diguanidines and the N-alkyl diguanidines fluorenes bind in

Fluorescence microscopy of trypanosomes from drug treated mice shows that biologically active heterocyclic diamidines that target the DNA minor groove bind rapidly and specifically to parasite kinetoplast DNA (k-DNA). The observation that the kinetop

The phenanthridinium dye ethidium bromide is a prototypical DNA intercalating agent. For decades, this anti-trypanosomal agent has been known to intercalate into nucleic acids, with little preference for particular sequences. Only polydA-polydT tract

A series of biphenyl benzimidazoles diamidines 6a-i were synthesized from their respective diamidoximes, through the bis-O-acetoxyamidoxime followed by hydrogenation in glacial acetic acid/ethanol in the presence of Pd-C. The target compounds contain

A number of studies indicate that DNA sequences such as AATT and TTAA have significantly different physical and interaction properties. To probe these interaction differences in detail and determine the influence of charge, we have synthesized three

6-[5-(4-Amidinophenyl)furan-2-yl]nicotinamidine (8a) was synthesized from 6-[5-(4-cyanophenyl)furan-2-yl]nicotinonitrile (4a), through the bis-O-acetoxyamidoxime followed by hydrogenation. Compound 4a was prepared via selective bromination of 6-(fura
