NOVEL CLASS OF DNA BINDING MOTIFS BASED ON BISTETRAHYDROFURAN AND BISFURAN SKELETON WITH LONG ALKYL CHAINS |
| |
Abstract: | Small molecules with DNA-binding affinity within the minor groove have become of great interest. In this paper, new DNA binding molecules; diamino-bistetrahydrofuran (bisTHF) and diamino-bisfuran are reported. The bisTHF ligand with RR configuration at the amino groups and C8 alkyl chains (RR8) stabilized GC-rich duplex. In contrast, bisfuran compounds stabilized AT-rich duplex. The binding affinity of RR8 with 12 mer duplex DNA was determined by isothermal titration calorimetry to be 3.3 × 108 M?1. |
