The synthesis of oligomers containing two or three acridine units linked through 2-aminoethylglycine using solid-phase methodology is described. Subsequent studies on cell viability showed that these compounds are not cytotoxic. Binding to several DNA structures was studied by competitive dialysis, which showed a clear affinity for DNA sequences that form G-quadruplexes and parallel triplexes. The fluorescence spectra of acridine oligomers were affected strongly upon binding to DNA. These spectral changes were used to calculate the binding constants (K). Log K were found to be in the order of 4-6.
描述了使用固相方法合成通过2-氨基乙基甘氨酸连接的含有两个或三个吖啶单元的低聚物。随后对细胞活力的研究表明,这些化合物没有细胞毒性。通过竞争性透析研究了与几种DNA结构的结合,结果表明其对形成G-四链体和平行三链体的DNA序列具有明显的亲和力。吖啶低聚物与DNA结合后,其荧光光谱受到强烈影响。利用这些光谱变化计算结合常数(K)。发现log K约为4-6。
