Popis: A facile imide coupling strategy for the one-step preparation of G‑quadruplex ligands with varied core chemistries is described. The G‑quadruplex stabilization, anticancer and antiparasitic activity of a library of nine compounds was examined, identifying a nanomolar inhibitor of T. brucei with 78‑fold selectivity over MRC5 cells, and strong stabilization of G‑quadruplex nucleic acids.
