Targeting human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA and inhibition of telomerase activity with [(dmb)2Ru(obip)Ru(dmb)2](4+).

Inhibition of telomerase by inducing/stabilizing G-quadruplex formation is a promising strategy to design new anticancer drugs. We synthesized and characterized a new dinuclear complex [(dmb)2Ru(obip)Ru(dmb)2](4+) (dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, obip = (2-(2-pyridyl)imidazo[4,5-f][1,...
