Stabilization of G-quadruplex DNA and inhibition of Bcl-2 expression by a pyridostatin analog.
    Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 2016, Apr-01, Volume: 26, Issue:7

    The G-quadruplexes located in the P1 promoter of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) gene are implicated to regulate Bcl-2 expression. Here, we designed a new pyridostatin analog named PDF, which exhibited high specificity and stabilizing effect toward G-quadruplexes. The luciferase assay demonstrated that PDF could significantly suppress Bcl-2 transcriptional activation in human laryngeal squamous carcinoma cells (Hep-2) cells. Besides, PDF also induced cell apoptosis in vitro assays. These results provide an excellent G-quadruplex specific ligand as an efficient Bcl-2 inhibitor. These results also implicate that PDF may be a potential anticancer drug to head neck cancer.
