Abstract
The synthesis of four dirhenium(III) cis-dicarboxylates with the α-amino acids residues Asp (I), Glu (II), Phe (III) and Tyr (IV) is presented. The G-quadruplex stabilization potential was evaluated by fluorescence resonance energy transfer - melting analysis. All derivatives show specific binding to c-kit1 quadruplex, while II and IV have also strong stabilization activity to HTelo21 quadruplex. At the same time, the compounds do not show any stabilization activity for ds26 DNA, which suggests unique mechanisms of molecular DNA recognition for these complexes.
