title: G-quadruplex recognition by macrocyclic hexaoxazole (6OTD) dimer.
abstract: Telomestatin (TMS: 1) is as a potent and selective telomeric G-quadruplex binder. Two molecules of TMS were suggested to be intercalated to one telomeric G-quadruplex according to docking study. In this paper, we designed and synthesized hexaoxazole TMS derivative (6OTD) dimer, and evaluated its G-quadruplex stabilizing ability.
