A phosphate-substituted, zwitterionic berberine derivative was synthesized and found to have high affinity and some stabilization effects towards both duplex DNA and G4-DNA. It showed significant fluorescence intensity increase when binding to G4-DNA, but not when binding to duplex DNA. The different fluorimetric responses are proposed to be caused by the different binding modes and may be used for selective fluorimetric detection of G4-DNA.
A phosphate-substituted, zwitterionic berberine derivative was synthesized and its binding properties with duplex DNA and G4-DNA were studied using photometric, fluorimetric and polarimetric titrations and thermal DNA denaturation experiments. The ligand binds with high affinity toward both DNA forms (K-b = 2-7 x 10(5) M-1) and induces a slight stabilization of G4-DNA toward thermally induced unfolding, mostly pronounced for the telomeric quadruplex 22AG. The ligand likely binds by aggregation and intercalation with ct DNA and by terminal stacking with G4-DNA. Thus, this compound represents one of the rare examples of phosphate-substituted DNA binders. In an aqueous solution, the title compound has a very weak fluorescence intensity (phi(fl) < 0.01) that increases significantly upon binding to G4-DNA (phi(fl) = 0.01). In contrast, the association with duplex DNA was not accompanied by such a strong fluorescence light-up effect (phi(fl) < 0.01). These different fluorimetric responses upon binding to particular DNA forms are proposed to be caused by the different binding modes and may be used for the selective fluorimetric detection of G4-DNA.
