Recently, it became clear that guanine-rich DNA sequences could form characteristic four-stranded structure (G4). As G4 is frequently found in chromosomal telomere regions and in the promotor region of cancer-related genes, G4 is expected to be a target for developing new anticancer drugs. In this study, we compared cytotoxic effect of cyclic naphthalenediimide derivative (cNDI) that specifically bind to G4, with a widely-used anticancer drug cisplatin (CDDP).
