摘要

ESI mass spectrometry was used to assess the binding of 13-substituted, 5-nitro-2-phenylindolyl- and 2-naphthalenyl-based berberine derivatives to inter- and intramolecular G-quadruplex DNA molecules. In contrast with the parent berberine, the compounds showed selectivity for quadruplex over duplex DNA and stabilised the quadruplex structure. They represent a new class of quadruplex DNA-selective ligands.
