摘要

Guanine-rich sequences of DNA can assemble into quadruply stranded structures known as quadruplexes.[1] These structures arise thanks to the formation of guanine tetrads through hydrogen-bonding interactions between the Watson–Crick edge of one guanine and the Hoogsteen edge of its neighbour.[2] Quadruplex DNA structures have attracted recent interest since they have been identified as potential anticancer drug targets.[3] Bioinformatic studies have identified over 350 000 sequences in the human genome with the potential to form quadruplex structures.[4] Many of these sequences are found in the promoter regions of genes and hence it has been proposed that they might play important roles in regulating gene expression, for example, of certain oncogenes such as c-myc and c-kit.[5] On the other hand, formation of quadruplex DNA structures in the human telomere (HTelo) has been shown to inhibit telomerase.[6] The latter is an enzyme over-expressed in approximately 85% of cancer cells and plays an important role in cancer cell immortalisation.[ 6a,b] Therefore, molecules that template the formation or stabilise the structure of quadruplex DNA could pave the way for the development of new anticancer drugs.[3] While the majority of quadruplex DNA binders reported to date are based on planar organic heteroaromatic systems,[7] recently, several metal complexes have been shown to be excellent quadruplex DNA binders.[8] Herein we report the synthesis, structural characterisation and DNA binding studies of a new goldACHTUNGTRENUNG(III) complex. This is the first example of a quadruplex DNA binder based on a gold complex.
