    Abstract

    The synthesis of a small number of bis(imino)anthracene derivatives is reported. They were evaluated via NMR for binding efficacy to the G-quadruplex-forming oligonucleotide sequence (TTGGGTT) and show activity against the HeLa cancer cell line. These novel ligands are compared to previously synthesised G-quadruplex ligands that target telomeres and oncogenes.
