Abstract

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors have been implicated as key-factors in tumor angiogenesis and are major targets in cancer therapy. New oligomers which mimic the architecture of DNA-binding polyamides have been designed to target the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1alpha) binding site on the promoter of VEGF gene. These oligomers incorporate an increasing number of six-five fused rings such as hydroxybenzimidazole-imidazole, benzimidazole-pyrrole, benzimidazole-chlorothiophene, and imidazopyridine-pyrrole, and bind the VEGF hypoxia response element (HRE) 5'-TACGT-3' with high affinity and selectivity.
