Utilizing G-quadruplex formation to target 8-oxoguanine in telomeric sequences
摘要:
Utilizing G-quadruplex specific ligands that can induce/bind G-quadruplex DNA in human telomeric regions has recently become an attractive means for cancer chemotherapy because the formation of G-quadruplex structures inhibits the activity of telomerase, a reverse transcriptase mainly expressed in cancer cells. In the present work, we synthesized a type of bifunctional molecules that selectively bind to telomeric DNA via G-quadruplex formation and subsequently react with proximate OxodG in the presence of one-electron oxidant. Such molecules could be useful for telomerase inhibition. Perylene derivatives (7 and 9) containing 1,3-diamino moieties were prepared for demonstration. The binding of 7 with G-quadruplex DNA was determined using UV thermal denaturation and the corresponding binding constant was derived from UV titration. The interactions of 7 with G-quadruplex DNA containing OxodG were characterized using circular dichroism. Gel electrophoresis revealed that 7 can form more adducts with OxodG in G-quadruplex regions than that in duplex DNA. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

3-Guanidinopropionic acid (1) has been demonstrated both to improve insulin sensitivity and to promote weight loss selectively from adipose tissue in animal models of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). However, 1 has also been shown to be a substrate for both the creatine transporter and creatine kinase, leading to marked accumulation in muscle tissue as the corresponding N-phosphate. The corresponding aminoguanidine analogue 2 was recently discovered to retain the antidiabetic activity of 1 while being markedly less susceptible to creatine-like metabolism, suggesting that it should have less potential to accumulate in muscle. Further structural modification of 2 was undertaken to investigate whether the antidiabetic potency could be augmented while maintaining resistance to creatine-like metabolism. Modifications such as a-alkylation, homologation, and bioisosteric replacement of the aminoguanidine all were detrimental to antidiabetic activity. However, the simple regioisomeric aminoguanidinoacetic acid 9 and diaminoguanidinoacetic acid-analogue 7 were found to be equipotent to 2, leading eventually to the discovery of the significantly more potent diaminoguanidinoacetic acid regioisomers 52 and 53. Further attempts to modify the more active template represented by 52 led only to reductions in; antidiabetic activity. Each of the new active analogues displayed the same resistance to creatine-like metabolism as 2. Further testing of 7, 9, and 53 in obese diabetic ob;lob mice confirmed that weight loss is induced selectively from adipose tissue, similar to the lead 1. Administration of 53 to insulin-resistant rhesus monkeys led to reductions in both fasting and post-prandial plasma glucose levels with concomitant reductions in plasma insulin levels, suggesting that the compound improved the action of endogenous insulin. Compounds 7 and 53 were selected for further preclinical development.
