Synthesis, biophysical and biological evaluation of 3,6-bis-amidoacridines with extended 9-anilino substituents as potent G-quadruplex-binding telomerase inhibitors.

Abstract:

:Telomerase and telomere maintenance are emerging targets for the treatment of human cancers. We report here on the targeting of the telomere-telomerase complex with a series of small molecules based on an acridine platform. A series of 3,6-bisamidoacridines with extended 9-anilino sidechains were designed and synthesised as potential telomeric G-quadruplex DNA (G4) interacting compounds. G4-stabilisation was assessed using a high-throughput FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) assay and telomerase inhibition quantified by a modified TRAP (telomerase repeat amplification protocol) method. Within the series, the compounds showed significant G4-stabilising ability (Delta T(m) values of 25-36 degrees C at 1 microM concentration) and telomerase inhibition in the nanomolar region ((tel)EC(50) values of 80-318 nM). Furthermore, a direct correlation between the FRET and TRAP assays was observed, supporting the use of the rapid screening FRET assay for early assessment of potential G4-stabilising telomerase inhibitors.
