Abstract

The penta- and tetraoxazole telomestatin analogs L2H2-5OTD (4) and L2H2-4OTD (5) were synthesized as new G-quadruplex ligands in order to evaluate the influence of the size of the planar macrocycle on the G-quadruplex-stabilizing efficacy. These ligands were less potent stabilizers of various G-quadruplex-forming oligonucleotides than L2H2-6OTD (2a), which has a hexaoxazole-type macrocycle.
