Naphthalene diimides with one or two centrosymmetric arylethynyl moieties capable of synergic donor and acceptor hydrogen bonding exhibit promising binding properties and selectivity towards parallel G-quadruplex (G4) nucleic acids (c-myc, bcl-2 and parallel hTel22). The hydrogen-bonding network involving the phosphate backbone and outside rim of the G-quartet represents an opportunity to exploit G4 selectivity for extended aromatics.

Abstract

Naphthalene diimides with one or two centrosymmetric arylethynyl moieties capable of synergic donor and acceptor hydrogen bonding exhibit promising binding properties and selectivity towards parallel G-quadruplex (G4) nucleic acids (c-myc, bcl-2 and parallel hTel22). The hydrogen-bonding network involving the phosphate backbone and outside rim of the G-quartet represents an opportunity to exploit G4 selectivity for extended aromatics.
