| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop an anti-cancer drug without side-effect, a series of cyclic naphthalene diimide (cNDI) derivatives was synthesized and studied their interactions with teraplex DNAs (tDNA) using spectrophotometric and isothermal titration calorimetric technique with telomerase and growth inhibition assay of cancer cell. cNDIs carrying none-aromatic moiety have a high preference for tDNA over duplex one (dsDNA). However, their binding affinity and stabilization effect for tDNA is not enough for use of anticancer drug. On the other hand, cNDIs carrying aromatic moiety have high binding affinity for tDNA and, however, their preference for tDNA over dsDNA is not enough because of their interaction for dsDNA. The affinity of cNDIs for tDNA was correlated with telomerase and growth inhibition assay of cancer cell. These results suggested that cNDI open new concept to design anti-cancer drug with diminished side effect.
