Description

General description

A perylene-based ligand that potently inhibits human telomerase by binding to G-quadruplex DNA. The strongest binding site for PIPER appears to be the 3′-boundary of the G-quadruplex. Can also bind non-specifically to nucleic acids. May also be useful as an antiproliferative agent.
