Product Data
Biological target:
Phen-DC3 Trifluoromethanesulfonate is a G-quadruplex (G4) specific ligand which can inhibit FANCJ and DinG helicases with IC50s of 65±6 and 50±10 nM, respectively.
In vitro activity:
This study reports that Phen-DC3, one of the most prominent G-quadruplex ligands in terms of high binding affinity and selectivity, causes dTAGGG(TTAGGG)3 to completely change its fold in KCl solution from a hybrid-1 to an antiparallel chair-type structure, wherein the ligand intercalates between a two-quartet unit and a pseudo-quartet, thereby ejecting one potassium ion. This unprecedented high-resolution NMR structure shows for the first time a true ligand intercalation into an intramolecular G-quadruplex.
