charged termini are potent stabilizers of humantelomeric and genepromoterDNAquadruplexes and inhibit the growth of human cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The present study reports the enhancement of the pharmacological properties of earlier ND compounds using structure-based design. Crystal structures of three complexes with humantelomeric intramolecular quadruplexes demonstrate that two of the
