Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and other hyperproliferative diseases. There currently are no approved antiviral drugs for HPV that directly decrease viral DNA load and that have low toxicity. We report the potent anti-HPV activity of two N-methylpyrrole-imidazole polyamides

Acquired resistance to cisplatin (cDDP) is a multifactorial process that represents one of the main problems in ovarian cancer therapy. Distamycin A is a minor groove DNA binder whose toxicity has limited its use and prompted the synthesis of derivatives

Previous studies on copper(II) complexes with oxindole-Schiff base ligands have shown their potential antitumor activity towards different cells, inducing apoptosis through a preferential attack to DNA and/or mitochondria. Herein, we better characterize the interactions between some of these copper(II) complexes

Distamycin A (Dst) is an antibiotic which binds to the minor groove of double-stranded DNA at A/T-rich regions. We have examined the affinity and mode of Dst binding to DNA duplexes containing a conserved A/T core and variable terminal A/T

Biochemistry, 50(38), 8107-8116 (2011-08-23)
The molecular mechanism for the displacement of HMGA1 proteins from DNA is integral to disrupting their cellular function, which is linked to many metastatic cancers. Chemical shift and NOESY NMR experiments provide structural evidence for the displacement of an AT
