Synthesis a novel DNA minor groove binding agents by bis-benzimidazole
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new series of bis-benzimidazole derivatives was designed and synthesized. In vitro cytotoxity evaluation showed that these compounds exhibited high activity against the selected tumor cells. Among them, compound 8 owned the best potential, its IC50 values being 0.58 μM (mononuclear tumor cell line (U937)) and 0.56 μM (cervical cancer cell (Hela)), respectively. Molecular modeling, fluorescence and viscometry study showed that compound 8could bind into the minor groove of DNA.

A novel series of indole and benzimidazole bichalcophene diamidine derivatives were prepared to study their antimicrobial activity against the tropical parasites causing African sleeping sickness and malaria. The dicyanoindoles needed to synthesize the target diamidines were obtained through Stille coupling reactions while the bis-cyanobenzimidazoles intermediates were made via condensation/cyc...

Boc-protected benzimidazole-pyrrole, benzimidazole-imidazole, and benzimidazole-methoxypyrrole amino acids were synthesized and incorporated into DNA binding polyamides, comprised of N-methyl pyrrole and N-methyl imidazole amino acids, by means of solid-phase synthesis on an oxime resin. These hairpin polyamides were designed to determine the DNA recognition profile of a side-by-side benzimidaz...

The binding of two symmetric bis-benzimidazole compounds, 2,2-bis-[4'-(3"-dimethylamino-1"-propyloxy)phenyl]-5,5-bi-1H-benzimidazole and its piperidinpropylphenyl analog, to the minor groove of DNA, have been studied by DNA footprinting, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) methods and molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent. The footprinting and SPR methods find that the former compound ...
متن کاملDNA minor groove recognition by bis-benzimidazole analogues of Hoechst 33258: insights into structure-DNA affinity relationships assessed by fluorescence titration measurements.
Fluorescence titration measurements have been used to examine the binding interaction of a number of analogues of the bis -benzimidazole DNA minor groove binding agent Hoechst 33258 with the decamer duplex d(GCAAATTTGC)2. The method of continuous variation in ligand concentration (Job plot analysis) reveals a 1:1 binding stoichiometry for all four analogues; binding constants are independent of...

An analogue of the DNA-binding compound Hoechst 33258, in which the piperazine ring has been replaced by an imidazoline group, has been cocrystallized with the dodecanucleotide sequence d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2. The structure has been solved by X-ray diffraction analysis and has been refined to an R-factor of 19.7% at a resolution of 2.0 A. The ligand is found to bind in the minor groove, at the centra...
