Abstract
A series of DNA minor groove binding fluorescent dimeric bisbenzimidazoles DBA(n) bearing linkers of various length were synthesized and their biochemical and antiviral activities were evaluated. Their antiviral activity was assessed in model cell systems infected with human herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). Compounds DBA(1) and DBA(7) demonstrated in vitro inhibitory properties towards HSV-1, and DBA(7) completely blocked the viral infection. Compound DBA(11) displayed the in vitro therapeutic activity towards both HSV-1 and CMV. All of the DBA(n) could fluoresce, were well soluble in water, not cytotoxic to a concentration of 240 µM, penetrated well into cell nuclei by binding to DNA and could inhibit topo-I at low micromolecular concentrations.

Microbiol Res 2017; 207:75-82. [PMID: 29458871 DOI: 10.1016/j.micres.2017.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2017] [Revised: 11/07/2017] [Accepted: 11/12/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
DNA sequence-specific fluorescent dimeric bisbenzimidazoles DBP(n) and DBPA(n), noncovalently interacting with A-T pairs in the minor groove of double-stranded DNA were used for studying and monitoring the expression of histone-like H-NS-dependent promoters. Histone-like H-NS selectively binds to AT-rich segments of DNA and silences a large number of genes in bacterial chromosomes. The H-NS-dependent promoters of Quorum Sensing (QS)-regulated lux operons of the marine bacteria mesophilic Aliivibrio fischeri, psychrophilic Aliivibrio logei were used. Escherichia coli lux biosensors were constructed by cloning fragments bearing QS-regulated promoters into the vector, thereby placing each fragment upstream of the promoterless Photorhabdus luminescens luxCDABE genes. It was shown that the dimeric bisbenzimidazoles DBP(n) and DBPA(n) counteract the H-NS silencing activity. Thus, the presence of DBP(n) or DBPA(n) in the medium leads to an approximately 10-100-fold increase in the level of transcription of QS promoters in E. coli hns+. The largest decrease in the level of H-NS repression was observed using ligands containing a linker with a length of ca. 18Å, such as DBP(2) and DBPA(2). Ligands containing linkers with n=1 and 3 are an order of magnitude less active; ligands with n=4 are inactive. DBPA(2) exhibits activity starting with a concentration of 0.5μM; the minimum concentration of DBP(2) is 5-7 times higher. It is suggested that A-T pairs located at five nucleotide pair intervals, which correspond to the linker length in highly active ligands with n=2, play a key role in the structure of H-NS-binding sites in QS-regulated promoters.

Abstract
A series of novel bivalent securinine mimetics incorporating different linkers between C-15 and C-15' were synthesized and their topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibitory activities evaluated. It was thus revealed that mimetic R2 incorporating a rigid m-substituted benzene linker exhibits Topo I inhibitory activity three times that of parent securinine. Comprehensive structure-activity relationship analyses in combination with docking studies were used to rationalize the potent activity of these bivalent mimetics. Mechanistic studies served to confirm the deductions arising from docking studies that the active bivalent mimetics not only inhibited complexation between Topo I and DNA but also stabilized the Topo I-DNA complex itself.

Abstract
A series of new fluorescent symmetric dimeric bisbenzimidazoles DBP(n) bearing bisbenzimidazole fragments joined by oligomethylene linkers with a central 1,4-piperazine residue were synthesized. The complex formation of DBP(n) in the DNA minor groove was demonstrated. The DBP(n) at micromolar concentrations inhibit in vitro eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I and prokaryotic DNA methyltransferase (MTase) M.SssI. The DBP(n) were soluble well in aqueous solutions and could penetrate cell and nuclear membranes and stain DNA in live cells. The DBP(n) displayed a moderate effect on the reactivation of gene expression.

Abstract
Minor groove binders are small molecules that form strong complexes with the minor groove of DNA. There are several structural types of which distamycin and netropsin analogues, oligoamides built from heterocyclic and aromatic amino acids, and bis-amidines separated by aromatic and heterocyclic rings are of particular pharmaceutical interest. These molecules have helical topology that approximately matches the curvature of DNA in the minor groove. Depending upon the precise structure of the minor groove binder, selectivity can be obtained with respect to the DNA base sequence to which the compound binds. Minor groove binders have found substantial applications in anti-cancer therapy but their significance in anti-infective therapy has also been significant and is growing. For example, compounds of the bis-amidine class have been notable contributors to antiparasitic therapy for many years with examples such as berenil and pentamidine being well-known. A recent growth area has been inreased sophistication in the oligoamide class. High sequence selectivity is now possible and compounds with distinct antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic activity have all been identified. Importantly, the structures of the most active compounds attacking the various infective organisms differ significantly but not necessarily predictively. This poses interesting questions of mechanism of action with many different targets involved in DNA processing being candidates. Access of compounds to specific cell types also plays a role and in some cases, can be decisive. Prospects for a range of selective therapeutic agents from this class of compounds are higher now than for some considerable time.

Abstract
Dimeric bis-benzimidazoles (DBn) are the compounds specifically binding to A-T enriched sequences in the DNA minor groove. Due to this property they can inhibit DNA-dependent enzymes. We show that inhibition of the helicase activity of HCV NS3 protein by DBn was due to a novel mechanism, which involved direct binding of the ligands to the enzyme. The binding potency and inhibition efficacy depended on the length of the linker between the benzimidazole fragments. The most effective inhibitor DB11 partially prevented activation of NTPase activity of NS3 by poly(U) and increased affinity of the enzyme to the helicase substrate DNA.
