G-quadruplexes (G4s) are frequently formed in the promoter regions of oncogenes, considered as promising drug targets for anticancer therapy. Due to high structure similarity of G4s, discovering ligands selectively interacting with only one G4 is extremely difficult. Here, mainly by NMR, we report that colchicine selectively binds to oncogene RET G4-DNA.
G-四链体(G4s)经常在癌基因的启动子区域形成,被认为是癌症治疗有前途的药物靶点。由于 G4s 具有高度的结构相似性,因此很难发现仅与一种 G4 选择性相互作用的配体。在这里,主要通过 NMR,我们报告秋水仙碱选择性地结合癌基因 RET G4-DNA。
