Synthesis of novel cyano- and amidino-substituted styryl-2-benzimidazoles and benzimidazo[1,2-a]quinolines by condensation reactions and photochemical dehydrocyclization and dehydrohalogenation cyclization is described. Thermal denaturation experiments reveal that cyclic derivatives considerably stabilize DNA double helix, while the effect of their acyclic analogues is negligible. According to the spectroscopic study of the interaction of cyclic derivative 19, we propose intercalation of benzimidazo[1,2-a]quinoline moiety into ct-DNA as a dominant interaction underlying biologically relevant effects of this compound, whereas for its acyclic derivative 11, we propose binding into the minor groove of DNA. All compounds show noticeable antiproliferative effect. Morpholino- and chloro-substituted compound 9 is the most active among all acyclic derivatives. All cyclic compounds were 2- to 10-fold more potent, which is correlated with their property to intercalate into DNA. The most active imidazolyl-substituted compound 19 inhibits topoisomerase II and induces strong G2/M cell cycle arrest, pointing to the impairment in mitotic progression. Its pronounced selectivity toward colon carcinoma cells encourages further development of this compound as a lead.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
