Abstract
Azobenzenes are photoswitchable molecules capable of generating significant structural changes upon E-to-Z photoisomerization in peptides or small molecules, thereby controlling geometry and functionality. E-to-Z photoisomerization usually is achieved upon irradiation at 350 nm (π–π* transition), while the Z-to-E isomerization proceeds photochemically upon irradiation at >400 nm (n–π* transition) or thermally. Photoswitchable compounds have frequently been employed as modules, e.g., to control protein–DNA interactions. However, their use in conjunction with minor groove-binding imidazole/pyrrole (Im/Py) polyamides is yet unprecedented. Dervan-type Im/Py polyamides were equipped with an azobenzene unit, i.e., 3-(3-(aminomethyl)phenyl)azophenylacetic acid, as the linker between two Im/Py polyamide strands. Only the (Z)-azobenzene-containing polyamides bound to the minor groove of double-stranded DNA hairpins. Photoisomerization was exemplarily evaluated by 1H NMR experiments, while minor groove binding of the (Z)-azobenzene derivatives was proven by CD titration experiments. The resulting induced circular dichroism (ICD) bands of the bound ligands, together with the photometric determination of the dsDNA melting temperature, revealed a significant stabilization of the DNA upon association with the ligand. The (Z)-azobenzene acted as a building block inducing a reverse turn, which favored hydrogen bonds between the pyrrole/imidazole amide and the DNA bases. In contrast, the E-configured polyamides did not induce any ICD characteristic for minor groove binding. The incorporation of the photoswitchable azobenzene unit is a promising strategy to obtain photoswitchable Im/Py hairpin polyamides capable of interacting with the dsDNA minor groove only in the Z-configuration.

Abstract
Minor groove binding distamycin like moieties were conjugated with core salens and the corresponding Fe(iii) and Co(ii) complexes were synthesized. Herein, we have shown efficient DNA minor groove binding specificities along with excellent DNA cleavage capacities with metallosalen conjugates. The metal complexes showed toxicity toward various cancer cells over normal cells with high specificity. Interestingly, the Co(ii) complexes exhibited greater activity than the Fe(iii) complexes in accordance with the stronger affinity of the former in the biophysical studies. Active DNA damage, and prominent nuclear condensation along with the release of cytochrome-c from the mitochondria unanimously showed that the metal complexes followed apoptotic pathways to induce cell death.

Abstract
Human telomeric G-quadruplexes have raised broad interest not just due to their involvement in the regulation of gene expressions and telomerase activities but also because of their application in nanoarchitectures. Herein, three azobenzene derivatives 1-3 were synthesized with different substituent groups and their photo-isomerization properties were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy. Then circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD), fluorescence experiments and native-gel electrophoresis were performed to evaluate their capabilities of conformational photo-regulation both in the absence and presence of metal ions. The results suggested that the compounds synthesized can successfully regulate the conformation of human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA in K(+) conditions to some extent. This work will initiate the possibility for the design and intriguing application of light-induced switching to photoregulate the conformation of G-quadruplex DNA under physiological conditions, providing a possible pathway to control G-quadruplex conformation in biological applications and also expanding the potential use of G-quadruplexes in nanomachines.
