BMVC is a potent G-quadruplex (G4) stabilizer and a selective telomerase inhibitor (IC50: ~0.2 μM) with anticancer activities. BMVC inhibits Taq DNA polymerase (IC50: ~2.5 μM).
Phen-DC3 Trifluoromethanesulfonate is a G-quadruplex (G4) specific ligand. It also can inhibit FANCJ and DinG helicases (IC50s: 65±6 and 50±10 nM, respectively).
CL67 is a hypoxia-inducible factor pathway inhibitor. It acts by binding to a G-quadruplex higher-order structure in the HIF promoter sequence in vitro.
BMVC4 is a G-quadruplex stabilizer. BMVC4 induces senescence by activation of pathways of response to DNA damage that was independent of its telomerase inhibitory activity.
Telomestatin is an inhibitor of the telomerase, it induces the formation of basket-type G-quadruplex (G4) structures from hybrid-type G-quadruplexes in the telomeric region.
