主　　题：G-quadruplex alkaloid non-flat anti-cancer drug 

摘      要：Compounds selectively binding and stabilizing G-quadruplex structures could inhibit the telomerase or down- regulate the oncogenes and may act as anti-cancer drugs. An alkaloid with non-flat structure, fangchinoline, showed to strongly stabilize the intermolecular and intramolecular parallel stranded G-quadruplex structure, increasing melting temperature by 20 and 23℃, respectively. The binding mode was investigated by using NMR and molec- ular modelling methods. Four human cell lines （HL-60, BGC-823, Be1-7402 and KB） were taken to test the an- ti-proliferation effects of fangchinoline and the IC50 values were ranged from 16 to 32 μmol/L. These results showed that the fangchinoline or related moiety derivatives may represent a class of telomere-targeted agents as po- tential anti-cancer drugs.
