Abstract

There are thousands of compounds shown to interact with G-quadruplex DNA, yet very few which target i-motif (iM) DNA. Previous work showed that tobramycin can interact with iM- DNA, indicating the potential for sugar-molecules to target these structures. Computational approaches indicated that the sugar-containing natural products baicalin and geniposidic acid had potential to target iM-DNA. We assessed the DNA interacting properties of these compounds using FRET-based DNA melting and a fluorescence-based displacement assay using iM-DNA structures from the human telomere and the insulin linked polymorphic region (ILPR), as well as complementary G-quadruplex and double stranded DNA. Both baicalin and geniposidic acid show promise as iM-interacting compounds with potential for use in experiments into the structure and function of i-motif forming DNA sequences and present starting points for further synthetic development of these as probes for iM-DNA.
