A small-sized benzothiazole–indolium fluorescent probe: the study of interaction specificity targeting c-MYC promoter G-quadruplex structures and live cell imaging
c-MYC promoter G-quadruplex selectivefluorescent BZT-Indolium binding ligand was demonstrated for the first time as a highly target-specific and photostable probe for in vitro staining and livecellimaging and it was found to be able to inhibit the amplification of the c-MYC G-rich sequence (G-quadruplex) and down-regulate oncogene c-MYC expression in human cancercells (HeLa).
