RHPS4 G-quadruplex ligand induces anti-proliferative effects in brain tumor cells.

BACKGROUND: Telomeric 3' overhangs can fold into a four-stranded DNA structure termed G-quadruplex (G4), a formation which inhibits telomerase. As telomerase activation is crucial for telomere maintenance in most cancer cells, several classes of G4 ligands have been designed to directly disrupt...
