Phenanthroline-2,9-bistriazoles as selective G-quadruplex ligands
摘要:
G-quadruplex (G4) ligands are currently receiving considerable attention as potential anticancer therapeutics. A series of phenanthroline-2,9-bistriazoles carrying tethered positive end groups has been synthesized and evaluated as G4 stabilizers. The compounds were efficiently assembled by copper(I)catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) in CH2Cl2 and water in the presence of a complexing agent. Characterization of the target compounds on telomeric and c-KIT G4 sequences led to the identification of guanidinium-substituted compounds as potent G4 DNA ligands with high selectivity over duplex DNA. The diisopropylguanidium ligands exhibited high selectivity for the proto-oncogenic sequence c-KIT over the human telomeric sequence in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay, whereas the compounds appeared potent on both G4 structures in the FRET melting temperature assay. The phenanthroline-2,9-bistriazole ligands were thus identified as potent G4 ligands with high selectivity over duplex DNA, and preliminary results indicate that the scaffold may form basis for the development of subtype-specific G4 ligands.

Bromo and chloro polyimines react with trimethylsilyacetylene in the presence of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2/CuI and diisopropylamine to give newsubstituted polyimines 1a to 8a. These compounds are deprotected with K2CO3 in MeOH / THF to produce the corresponding terminal alkynes 1b to 8b.
diynes provides access to ditopic bipyridine or terpyridine ligands oligoPy(C&tbd1;C)(4)oligoPy comprising a tetrayne spacer. Quantitative formation of air-stable copper(I) complexes is described for the 6,6'-substitutedligands. A single crystal X-ray structure of complex 22a shows that the two ligands are interlocked around the copper(I) center in a pseudotetrahedral arrangement, similar to the structure

consisting of only C, H, O and N atoms for the selective extraction of Am(III) from spent nuclear fuel are reported herein. One of these 2,9-bis-triazolyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BTrzPhen) ligands combined with a non-selective extracting agent, was found to exhibit process-suitable selectivity for Am(III) over Eu(III) and Cm(III), providing a clear step forward.
(L2) substituents have been synthetized and used to prepare bis-phenanthroline copper(I) complexes. Stericconstraints are limited in the case of the biphenyl-substituted ligand and [Cu(L1)2](BF4) has been obtained by reaction of L1 with [Cu(CH3CN)4](BF4). In contrast, the tetraarylbenzene substituents of L2 are large enough to totally prevent the formation of the corresponding homoleptic bis-phenanthroline
