Abstract

AbstractIn the field of anticancer therapy study it is of great interest to find effective G‐quadruplex ligands which may be of potential use in medical treatment or cancer prevention. Since among the compounds of natural origin, flavonoids have attracted notable attention because of their unique properties and promising therapeutic applications, an interesting question was to identify the flavonoid structural features that could provide effective binding properties toward G‐quadruplex. By using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, followed by the survival yield method, it has been shown that the flavonoid molecules which contain an available C4=O carbonyl group form more stable adducts with G‐tetrads than the other ones. Molecular docking has shown that C4=O carbonyl group can be a source of hydrogen bonds and/or π‐stacking interactions. Therefore, the flavonoid molecules which contain an available C4=O carbonyl group can be regarded as good binders of G‐quadruplexes.
