Systematic Evaluation of Benchmark G4 Probes and G4 Clinical Drugs using three Biophysical Methods: A Guideline to Evaluate Rapidly G4-Binding Affinity. Chembiochem 2024; 25:e202400210.

Abstract
G-quadruplex DNA structures (G4) are proven to interfere with most genetic and epigenetic processes. Small molecules binding these structures (G4 ligands) are invaluable tools to probe G4-biology and address G4-druggability in various diseases (cancer, viral infections). However, the large number of reported G4 ligands (>1000) could lead to confusion while selecting one for a given application. Herein we conducted a systematic affinity ranking of 11 popular G4 ligands vs 5 classical G4 sequences using FRET-melting, G4-FID assays and SPR. Interestingly SPR data globally align with the rankings obtained from the two semi-quantitative assays despite discrepancies due to limits and characteristics of each assay. In the whole, PhenDC3 emerges as the most potent binder irrespective of the G4 sequence. Immediately below PDS, PDC-360A, BRACO19, TMPyP4 and RHPS4 feature strong to medium binding again with poor G4 topology discrimination. More strikingly, the G4 drugs Quarfloxin, CX5461 and c-PDS exhibit weak affinity with all G4s studied. Finally, NMM and Cu-ttpy showed heterogeneous behaviors due, in part, to their physicochemical particularities poorly compatible with screening conditions. The remarkable properties of PhenDC3 led us to propose its use for benchmarking FRET-melting and G4-FID assays for rapid G4-affinity evaluation of newly developed ligands.

Abstract
G-quadruplexes (G4) are non-canonical secondary structures consisting in stacked tetrads of hydrogen-bonded guanines bases. An essential feature of G4 is their intrinsic polymorphic nature, which is characterized by the equilibrium between several conformations (also called topologies) and the presence of different types of loops with variable lengths. In cells, G4 functions rely on protein or enzymatic factors that recognize and promote or resolve these structures. In order to characterize new G4-dependent mechanisms, extensive researches aimed at identifying new G4 binding proteins. Using G-rich single-stranded oligonucleotides that adopt non-controlled G4 conformations, a large number of G4-binding proteins have been identified in vitro, but their specificity towards G4 topology remained unknown. Constrained G4 structures are biomolecular objects based on the use of a rigid cyclic peptide scaffold as a template for directing the intramolecular assembly of the anchored oligonucleotides into a single and stabilized G4 topology. Here, using various constrained RNA or DNA G4 as baits in human cell extracts, we establish the topology preference of several well-known G4-interacting factors. Moreover, we identify new G4-interacting proteins such as the NELF complex involved in the RNA-Pol II pausing mechanism, and we show that it impacts the clastogenic effect of the G4-ligand pyridostatin.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used to investigate the interaction between N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM) and different G-quadruplex (G4) topologies. The study was associated with circular dichroism analysis (CD) to assess the topology of the G4s when they interacted with NMM. We demonstrate the high selectivity of NMM for the parallel G4 structure with a dissociation constant at least ten times lower than those of other G4 topologies. We also confirm the ability of NMM to shift the G4 conformation from both the hybrid and antiparallel topologies toward the parallel structure.

Abstract
G-triplex nucleic acid structures (G3) have been conjectured to form in vivo but little is known about their physiological functions. The identification of ligands capable of specific binding to G3 structures is therefore highly appealing but remains elusive. Here we report on the assembly of a DNA conjugate which folds into a stable G3 structure. The structural mimic was used to probe the interactions between a G3 ligand and first-in-class G4 ligands, revealing signification binding promiscuity.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterisation of three novel iridium(III) bis-cyclometallated complexes is reported. Their photophysics have been fully characterised by classical methods and revealed charge-transfer (CT) and ligand-centred (LC) transitions. Their ability to selectively interact with G-quadruplex telomeric DNA over duplex DNA has been studied by circular dichroism (CD), bio-layer interferometry (BLI) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analyses. Interestingly, one of the complexes was able to promote photoinduced electron transfer (PET) with the guanine DNA base, which in turn led to oxidative damage (such as the formation of 8-oxoguanine) to the telomeric sequence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of highly photo-oxidising bis-cyclometallated iridium(III) complexes with G-quadruplex telomeric DNA.

Abstract
Telomeric regions containing G-quadruplex (G4) structures play a pivotal role in the development of cancers. The development of specific binders for G4s is thus of great interest in order to gain a deeper understanding of the role of these structures, and to ultimately develop new anticancer drug candidates. For several years, RuII complexes have been studied as efficient probes for DNA. Interest in these complexes stems mainly from the tunability of their structures and properties, and the possibility of using light excitation as a tool to probe their environment or to selectively trigger their reaction with a biological target. Herein, we report on the synthesis and thorough study of new RuII complexes based on a novel dipyrazino[2,3-a:2',3'-h]phenazine ligand (dph), obtained through a Chichibabin-like reaction. Luminescence experiments, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and computational studies have demonstrated that these complexes behave as selective probes for G-quadruplex structures.

Abstract
G-rich DNA oligonucleotides derived from the promoter region of the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) were assembled onto an addressable cyclopeptide platform through sequential oxime ligation, a thiol-iodoacetamide SN2 reaction, and copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions. The resulting conjugate was shown to fold into a highly stable antiparallel G4 architecture as demonstrated by UV, circular dichroism (CD), and NMR spectroscopic analysis. The binding affinities of six state-of-the-art G4-binding ligands toward the HIV-G4 structure were compared to those obtained with a telomeric G4 structure and a hairpin structure. Surface plasmon resonance binding analysis provides new insights into the binding mode of broadly exploited G4 chemical probes and further suggests that potent and selective recognition of viral G4 structures of functional significance might be achieved.

Abstract
G-rich RNA and DNA oligonucleotides derived from the human telomeric sequence were assembled onto addressable cyclopeptide platforms through oxime ligations and copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) reactions. The resulting conjugates were able to fold into highly stable RNA and DNA:RNA hybrid G-quadruplex (G4) architectures as demonstrated by UV, circular dichroism (CD), and NMR spectroscopic analysis. Whereas rationally designed parallel RNA and DNA:RNA hybrid G4 topologies could be obtained, we could not force the formation of an antiparallel RNA G4 structure, thus supporting the idea that this topology is strongly disfavored. The binding affinities of four representative G4 ligands toward the discrete RNA and DNA:RNA hybrid G4 topologies were compared to the one obtained with the corresponding DNA G4 structure. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) binding analysis suggests that the accessibility to G4 recognition elements is different among the three structures and supports the idea that G4 ligands might be shaped to achieve structure selectivity in a biological context.
