Water-Soluble Heptacyclic Oligo-Heteroaryls Targeting G‑Quadruplex DNA via Groove-Binding Interactions
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are noncanonical nucleic acid structures involved in the regulation of key biological processes and represent attractive targets for therapeutic intervention. In this study, we report the design, synthesis, and biophysical evaluation of a new family of water-soluble heptacyclic oligo-heteroaryl lig...
