Unsymmetrical bisacridines (UAs) represent a novel class of anticancer agents that exhibit significant antitumor activity against a wide range of cancer cell lines and solid tumors in vivo. UAs consist of two different acridine-based ring systems, which are connected by an aminoalkyl linker. Recent studies have demonstrated that UAs can suppress the c-MYC protooncogene, which is overexpressed in many tumor types. As a proposed...

Emerging as a promising area in anticancer research, noncanonical DNA structures such as G-quadruplexes are studied using NMR spectroscopy. NOESY spectra reveals crucial interactions between ligands and G-quadruplexes, helping to understand non-covalent binding mechanisms. This knowledge is essential for rational drug design targeting these structures.
