摘要
A novel hairpin polyamide-cyclopropapyrroloindole (CPI) conjugate PyImImIm-gamma-PyPyPyLDu86 (conjugate 11), which targets human telomere repeats d(TTAGGG)(n)/d(CCCTAA)(n), was synthesized. High resolution denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using 44 bp DNA fragments and HPLC product analysis of a synthetic nonanucleotide demonstrated that conjugate 11 alkylates the target adenine in the telomere repeats, 5'-CCCTAA-3'. Examination of the antitumor activity of conjugate 11 using a panel of 39 cancer cell lines demonstrated that the average concentration of conjugate 11 required for 50% growth inhibition was 5.75 muM, which is superior to pepleomycin and bleomycin and comparable to cisplatin.
