Design and synthesis optimization of 3,7‐bis(N‐methyl‐N‐phenylamino)phenothiazinium chloride is reported. A detailed analysis by DFT calculations, UV/Vis, 1H NMR and electrochemical studies supports that, contrary to methylene blue, aggregation only occurs at concentrations of 1.0 × 10–3 M and higher.

Phenothiazin-5-ium tetraiodide hydrate (2), the suggested oxidation product of phenothiazine with iodine, is treated with two equivalents of a dialkylamine to give 3-(dialkylamino)phenothiazin-5-ium triiodides, 3-6. 3,7-Disubstituted phenothiazin-5-ium iodides, 7-9, are obtained by the reaction of 3-6 with an amine.
G-quadruplexes are non-canonical DNA secondary structures putatively present in the promoter regions of oncogenes in the human genome. The targeting of promoter G-quadruplex structures to repress oncogene transcription represents a potential anticancer strategy. Here, we have used high-throughput virtual screening to identify FDA-approved drug methylene blue (MB) as a promising scaffold for binding the c-myc oncogene G-quadruplex DNA. Based on molecular docking analysis of MB to the c-myc G-quadruplex, we designed and screened 50 MB derivatives containing side chains that could interact with the G-quadruplex grooves. As a proof-of-concept, the highest-scoring compounds were synthesized and the interactions with the c-myc G-quadruplex were investigated using the FID assay. The results showed that the methylene blue derivatives 6a-c were able to bind to the c-myc G-quadruplex with greater binding affinity compared to the known G-quadruplex binding ligand, crystal violet. The activity of the most potent compound identified from the FID assay, 6b, as an inhibitor for polymerase-drive DNA extension was examined using a PCR-stop assay and compared against that of the parent compound methylene blue. The results of the PCR-stop assay showed that the addition of the side chain improved the activity of the derivatives as an inhibitor compared to the parent compound. The MB derivative 6b was shown to be highly selective towards c-myc G-quadruplex over double-stranded DNA and other cellular biological models, and displayed higher cytoxicity against human hepatocarcinoma cells compared to the parent compound, MB. biologically relevant G-quadruplexes using UV-visible spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, respectively. The MB derivative 6b could induce or stabilize c-myc G-quadruplex formation in both cell-free and (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Chromophore systems consisting of one (compound 5) or two (compound 6) phenothiazine rings covalently attached to a bis-piperazinexylene chain were synthesized and evaluated as DNA photocleaving agents. In the presence of DNA, the compounds were shown to monointercalate in their deaggregated forms and to strongly absorb red wavelengths of light. Reactions containing micromolar concentrations of compound produced robust photocleavage of plasmid DNA under near-physiological conditions of temperature and pH (22 degrees C and pH 7.0). Phenothiazines 5 and 6 increased the T-m of calf thymus DNA by 17 and 19 degrees C, indicating that significant levels of duplex stabilization were produced. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
