Identification of natural product fonsecin B as a stabilizing ligand of c-myc G-quadruplex DNA by high-throughput virtual screening

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Jul 14;46(26):4680-2. doi: 10.1039/b926359d. Epub 2010 Apr 9.

Abstract

Fonsecin B has been identified as stabilizing ligand of c-myc G-quadruplex DNA using high-throughput virtual screening of a natural product database, and inhibited Taq polymerase-mediated DNA extension in vitro through stabilization of the G-quadruplex secondary structure.
