9,10-Bis[(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-yl)prop-2-yne-1-yl]anthracene: Synthesis and G-quadruplex Selectivity

G-quadruplex DNA is the target of several natural and synthetic small molecules with antiproliferative and antiviral activity. We here report the synthesis through <i>Sonogashira</i> reaction and A3 coupling of a disubstituted anthracene derivative, 9,10-bis[(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine...

description G-quadruplex DNA is the target of several natural and synthetic small molecules with antiproliferative and antiviral activity. We here report the synthesis through <i>Sonogashira</i> reaction and A3 coupling of a disubstituted anthracene derivative, 9,10-bis[(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-yl)prop-2-yne-1-yl]anthracene. The binding of this compound to G-quadruplex and double stranded DNA sequences was evaluated using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), demonstrating selectivity for the first structure.
