Second Generation G-Quadruplex Stabilizing Trimethine Cyanines
摘要:
G-四链 DNA 被认为是开发新型选择性化疗药物的一个非常吸引人的靶点,这可能显著减少对正常细胞的毒性。特别是,选择性结合 G-四链结构而不针对双链 DNA 的氰染料因其高度适应结构改造而受到关注,这使得对其生物分子相互作用进行微调成为可能。我们之前报道了设计用于通过末端堆叠相互作用有效结合 G-四链的五甲基和对称三甲基氰染料。在这里,我们报告了一种第二代药物候选物,即不对称三甲基氰染料。这些化合物已经合成并评估了它们的四链结合属性。引入苯[c,d]吲哚啉杂环单元提高了整体四链结合能力,而延长烷基链的长度则增加了四链与双链的结合特异性。

quantum yield and molar absorptivity. The aggregation of these cyaninedyes was studied and compared to a similar series of symmetric cyaninedyes. It was determined that the heterocycle has more effect on aggregation than the side chain and a dye with two different heterocycles will aggregate less than a dye with the same heterocycle. The dyes were also investigated for Lipinski Rule violations as their

Protein arginine methylation regulates multiple biological processes. Deregulation of protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) activities has been observed in many disease phenotypes. Small molecule probes that target PRMTs with strong affinity and selectivity can be used as valuable tools to dissect biological mechanisms of arginine methylation and establish the role of PRMT proteins in a disease process. In this work, we report synthesis and evaluation of a class of carbocyanine compounds containing indolium, benz[e]indolium or benz[c,d]indolium heterocyclic moieties that bind to the predominant arginine methyltransferase PRMT1 and inhibit its methyltransferase activity at low micromolar potencies. In particular, the developed molecules have long wavelength colorimetric and fluorometric photoactivities, which can be used for optical and near-infrared fluorescence imaging in cells or biological tissues. Together, these new chemical probes have potential application in PRMT studies both as enzyme inhibitors and as fluorescent dyes for microscope imaging. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Influence of Solid-State Packing of Dipolar Merocyanine Dyes on Transistor and Solar Cell Performances
A series of nine dipolar merocyanine dyes has been studied as organic semiconductors in transistors and solar cells. These dyes exhibited single-crystal packing motifs with different dimensional ordering, which can be correlated to the performance of the studied devices. Hereby, the long-range ordering of the dyes in staircase-like slipped stacks with J-type excitonic coupling favors charge transport and improves solar cell performance. The different morphologies of transistor thin films and solar cell active layers were investigated by UV-vis, AFM, and XRD experiments. Selenium-containing donor-acceptor (D-A) dimethine dye 4 showed the highest hole mobility of 0.08 cm(2) V-1 s(-1). BHJ solar cells based on dye 4 were optimized by taking advantage of the high crystallinity of the donor material and afforded a PCE of up to 6.2%.

G-Quadruplex DNA has been recognized as a highly appealing target for the development of new selective chemotherapeutics, which could result in markedly reduced toxicity toward normal cells. In particular, the cyanine dyes that bind selectively to G-quadruplex structures without targeting duplex DNA have attracted attention due to their high amenability to structural modifications that allows fine-tuning of their biomolecular interactions. We have previously reported pentamethine and symmetric trimethine cyanines designed to effectively bind G-quadruplexes through end stacking interactions. Herein, we are reporting a second generation of drug candidates, the asymmetric trimethine cyanines. These have been synthesized and evaluated for their quadruplex binding properties. Incorporating a benz[c,d]indolenine heterocyclic unit increased overall quadruplex binding, and elongating the alkyl length increases the quadruplex-to-duplex binding specificity.
