Discovery of the first dual G-triplex/G-quadruplex stabilizing compound: a new opportunity in the targeting of G-rich DNA structures?

Guanine-rich DNA motifs can form non-canonical structures known as G-quadruplexes, whose role in tumorigenic processes makes them attractive drug-target candidates for cancer therapy. Recent studies revealed that the folding and unfolding pathways of G-quadruplexes proceed through a quite stable int...
