title: Stabilisation of human telomeric quadruplex DNA and inhibition of telomerase by a platinum-phenanthroline complex.
abstract: Two new mono-substituted phenanthroline ligands and their platinum(II) square planar complexes have been prepared; one of the complexes has been shown to induce a high degree of quadruplex DNA stabilisation and to inhibit telomerase.
