- W2264756907 abstract "The thesis entitled “Novel Distamycin Frameworks for Enhancement and Photoregulation of DNA binding and Stabilization of Higher Order DNA Structures” has been divided into 4 chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the current trends in the design of DNA binding small molecules with sequence specific and secondary structure specific DNA recognition characteristics and their role in regulation of transcription and gene modification events. Chapter 2 describes an efficient conjugation of distamycin analogue with oligonucleotide stretches to enhance the specificity and selectivity of the hybrids compared to the covalently unlinked entities. Chapter 3A and 3B present an approach to achieve photoregulation of distamycin binding on duplex DNA minor groove surface via its conjugation with various types of photoisomerizable azobenzene moieties. Chapter 4A and 4B deal with the conjugation of distamycin with higher order DNA structure recognizable small molecule, DAPER to finely tune hybrid ligand recognition at either quadruplex or duplex-quadruplex junction of DNA. Chapter 1. Design of DNA Interacting Small Molecules: Role in Transcription Regulation and Target for Anticancer Drug Discovery Regulation of transcription machinery is one of the many ways to achieve control gene expression. This has been done either at the transcription initiation stage or at the elongation stage. There are different methodologies known to inhibit transcription initiation via targeting of double-stranded (ds) DNA by i) synthetic oligonucleotides, ii) ds-DNA specific, sequence selective minor groove binders (distamycin A), intercalators (daunomycin) (Figure 1), combilexins, and iii) small molecule (peptide or intercalator)-oligonucleotide conjugates. In some cases, instead of duplex DNA, higher order triple helix or quadruplex structures are formed at transcription start site. In this regard triplex and quadruplex DNA specific small molecules (e.g. BQQ, Telomestatin etc.) play a significant role for inhibiting transcription machinery (Figure 1). These different types of designer DNA binding agents act as powerful sequence-specific gene modulators, by exerting their effect from transcription regulation to gene modification. But most of these chemotherapeutic agents have side effects. So there is always a challenge remaining with these designer DNA binding molecules, to achieve maximum specific DNA binding affinity, cellular and nuclear transport activity without affecting the functions of normal cells. This could be done either modifying the drug or using two or three effective drugs together to inhibit gene expression to the maximum extent. (structural formula) Figure 1.
