Studies on interactions of carbazole derivatives with DNA, cell image, and cytotoxicity.
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry 2018 January 2
DNA-binding agents have been considered as an established opportunity for the development of anticancer drugs and DNA fluorescence probes. This work reported the synthesis of two novel carbazole derivatives (1 and 2) and investigated their DNA binding properties, living cell image, and cytotoxicity. The results demonstrated that both compounds presented the higher binding affinity to G-quadruplex than to duplex DNA by means of UV-Vis absorption titration and fluorescent intercalator displacement. Continuous variation analysis indicated that their binding stoichiometries of the compound/G-quadruplex were near 2 except the compound/bcl-2. Circular dichroism spectra showed that both compounds had no influence on the conformation of G-quadruplexes. Fluorescence titrations indicated that 2 had the potential to be a G-quadruplex selective fluorescent probe, while 1 could be used as a fluorescent probe for duplex DNA. Confocal fluorescence images indicated that both compounds could enter the living HepG2 cells, and 1 mainly located in nucleus whereas 2 mainly distributed in cytoplasm. DNase and RNase digest tests indicated that both compounds could enter into the nucleus and interact with duplex DNA, especially, 2 could interact with RNA and/or G-quadruplex DNA. They also exhibited an obvious antiproliferative activity to HepG2 by using MTT assays, with IC50 values of 2.7 and 9.5 μM for 1 and 2, respectively.
