Small molecules that induce the formation of higher order DNA structures have potential therapeutic and nanotechnology applications. Screening of a click library has identified the first compound to induce the formation of a Holliday junction structure at room temperature without the need for a high temperature annealing step.

dimers to be described. The compounds were assayed for duplex DNA, quadruplex DNA and four‐way junction DNA binding. Their antiproliferative activity in the Human promyelocytic leukaemia cell line, HL60, was also assessed. Although for some of the compounds, notably the acridine 4‐carboxamides, activity correlated with DNA binding affinity, for others it did not, with the rigidly linked dimers in particular
