The interaction of berberine and its 9-substituted derivatives with human telomeric DNA d[G3(T2AG3)3](telo21) has been investigated via CD spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, PCR-stop assay, competitive dialysis, and telomerase repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay. The results indicated that these semisynthesized compounds could induce and stabilize the formation of anti-parallel G-quadruplex of telomeric DNA in the presence or absence of metal cations. Compared with berberine, the 9-substituted derivatives exhibit stronger binding affinity with G-quadruplex and higher inhibitory activity for telomerase. Introduction of a side chain with proper length of methylene and terminal amino group to the 9-position of berberine would significantly strengthen the binding affinity with G-quadruplex, resulting in increasing inhibitory effects on the amplification of telo21 DNA and on the telomerase activity.
