A click chemistry approach to C3 symmetric, G-quadruplex stabilising ligands

Org Biomol Chem. 2010 Jun 28;8(13):2926-30. doi: 10.1039/c005055e. Epub 2010 May 25.

Abstract

Described is the structure-based design and synthesis of a series of tris-triazole G-quadruplex binding ligands utilising the copper catalysed azide-alkyne 'click' reaction. The results of G-quadruplex stabilisation by the ligands are reported and discussed.
