Naphthalene diimides (NDIs) show high potential as anticancer agents by targeting multiple G-quadruplexes simultaneously and demonstrating strong, selective anticancer activity. Analysis of biophysical and biological data yields structure-activity correlations, while in-depth discussion of NDI binding modes to G-quadruplexes is based on available structural models.
In the context of developing efficient anticancer therapies aimed at eradicating any sort of tumors, G-quadruplexes represent excellent targets. Small molecules able to interact with G-quadruplexes can interfere with cell pathways specific of tumors and common to all cancers. Naphthalene diimides (NDIs) are among the most promising, putative anticancer G-quadruplextargeting drugs, due to their ability to simultaneously target multiple G-quadruplexes and their strong, selective in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity. Here, all the available biophysical, biological, and structural data concerning NDIs targeting Gquadruplexes were systematically analyzed. Structure-activity correlations were obtained by analyzing biophysical data of their interactions with G-quadruplex targets and control duplex structures, in parallel to biological data concerning the antiproliferative activity of NDIs on cancer and normal cells. In addition, NDI binding modes to G-quadruplexes were discussed in consideration of the structures and properties of NDIs by in-depth analysis of the available structural models of G-quadruplex/NDI complexes.
