Abstract

A scissors-shaped binaphthyl derivative (NPA) has been found to stabilize the G-quadruplex by intertwisting the whole G-quadruplex with two long chains, through the cooperation of the two functional groups: binaphthylene and the ethoxy chain. Moreover, NPA exhibits a good inhibitory effect of telomerase activity as well as excellent cytotoxic activity against HepG-2 human liver cancer cells.
