Abstract
Macrocyclic hexaoxazoles having one or two lysinyl side chains in which the terminal nitrogen is either a primary amine, N,N-dimethylamine, or an acetamide have been synthesized. Sodium ion has been found to be beneficial to the macrocyclization step by acting as a template around which the linear polyoxazole can organize. Each of the targeted compounds selectivity stabilizes G-quadruplex versus duplex DNA. Compounds with one valine and one lysine residue display the best combination of G-quadruplex stabilizing ability with no detectable stabilization of duplex DNA.Entities:
