Human telomeric G-quadruplex [1]; telomerase/telomere;
BRACO-19 selectively binds to conserved G-quadruplex (GQ) motifs in the Human Adenovirus (HAdV) genome, specifically PGQ-AV-C3 (Kd = 0.28 × 10⁻⁶ M), PGQ-AV-D2 (Kd = 0.34 × 10⁻⁶ M), and PGQ-AV-E3 (Kd = 0.28 × 10⁻⁶ M) [2]

Well-known GQ-binding ligand Braco-19 selectively binds with HAdV GQ, enhancing its stability and inhibiting HAdV proliferation [2]. (1.0-10 μM; 5 days) BRACO-19 It was discovered that in UXF1138L cells, 1 μM resulted in no growth inhibition, with an IC50 of 2.5 μM and an IC100 of 5 μM [1]. Nuclear hTERT expression was significantly reduced by BRACO-19 (1 μM; 24 h). However, the formation of atypical mitoses was found to be accompanied by persisting cytoplasmic hTERT staining [1]. In eGFP-transfected HEK 293 cells, BRACO-19 (0–40 μM; 24 hours) decreases AdV virus proliferation in a dose-dependent manner [2]. Band intensity gradually decreases in a concentration-dependent manner for BRACO-19 (0-150 μM; 24 h) [2].
BRACO-19 inhibits proliferation in UXF1138L uterine carcinoma cells (IC50 = 2.5 μM, IC100 = 5 μM) in 5-day SRB assays. At subcytotoxic concentrations (1 μM), it induces telomere shortening (0.4 kb after 15 days) and replicative senescence, evidenced by morphological changes and β-galactosidase-positive cells. Immunohistochemistry reveals nuclear hTERT expression loss within 24 hours at 1 μM, with residual cytoplasmic staining. Atypical mitoses and enlarged nuclei indicate telomere dysfunction. TRAP assays confirm telomerase inhibition. Triple staining shows cytoplasmic colocalization of hTERT and ubiquitin after 24-hour treatment (1–10 μM), suggesting ubiquitin-mediated degradation of displaced hTERT.[1] BRACO-19 stabilizes HAdV G-quadruplex structures, increasing their melting temperature (ΔTm) by 13.1°C (PGQ-AV-C3), 27.77°C (PGQ-AV-D2), and 11.7°C (PGQ-AV-E3) in circular dichroism (CD) melting assays. Stabilization occurs via π-π stacking interactions, confirmed by NMR proton broadening.[2] In Taq polymerase stop assays, BRACO-19 (0–150 μM) dose-dependently inhibits DNA synthesis at GQ sites (e.g., PGQ-AV-C3/D2/E3), evidenced by reduced full-length product intensity on gels. Mutant controls show no inhibition.[2] BRACO-19 (20–40 μM) reduces adenovirus proliferation in HEK 293 cells by 65% (20 μM) and 70% (40 μM) via GFP/mTFP reporter assays, confirming GQ-mediated antiviral activity.[2] |

Chronic, intraperitoneal BRACO-19 After administration, qdx5 was effective in inhibiting tumor growth in early-stage xenografts but not in late-stage xenografts [1]. BRACO-19 (ip; 2 mg/kg; 3 weeks; starting 6 days after UXF1138LX fragment transplantation) significantly inhibited tumor growth. Under these conditions, significant single-agent antitumor activity was observed, with some in the group showing complete antitumor activity [1].
In early-stage UXF1138LX xenografts (median volume 68 mm³), chronic i.p. administration of BRACO-19 (2 mg/kg/day, 5 days/week for 3 weeks) achieves 95.9% tumor growth inhibition (T/C = 4.1%, P = 0.018) with partial regressions (5/12 tumors regressed completely). Oral dosing (5 mg/kg twice weekly) is ineffective (T/C = 73%). Immunohistochemistry of treated xenografts shows reduced nuclear hTERT expression, increased cytoplasmic hTERT, and atypical mitotic figures (anaphase bridges, tripolar divisions), indicating telomere uncapping.[1] |

TRAP telomerase assay: UXF1138L cell extracts incubated with TS primer for elongation, followed by PCR amplification with ACX primer. Products separated by PAGE and detected via SYBR green staining.[1]
Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) was performed in 80 mM KCl phosphate buffer at 25°C. BRACO-19 (200 μM) was titrated into GQ DNA (PGQ-AV-C3/D2/E3; 20 μM). Data fitted to a two-site model revealed exothermic binding (Kd = 0.28–0.34 × 10⁻⁶ M), while mutants showed negligible affinity.[2] Taq polymerase stop assays used ³²P-labeled primer and GQ templates (10 nM) in Tris-HCl (pH 7.4). Reactions with 0–125 mM KCl showed polymerase arrest at GQ sites. BRACO-19 addition (0–150 μM) intensified arrest, visualized via 15% denaturing PAGE.[2] |

Cell viability assay [1]
Cell Types: HEK 293 Cell Tested Concentrations: 20 μM; 40 μM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: demonstrated low cytotoxicity and diminished eGFP fluorescence. Cell proliferation: UXF1138L cells (2,000/well) treated with 0.1–10 μM BRACO-19 for 5 days. Viability assessed by sulforhodamine B (SRB) staining (515 nm absorbance). Senescence: Cells treated with 0.1–1 μM BRACO-19 for 15 days, fixed, and stained for β-galactosidase activity (blue pigmentation). hTERT/ubiquitin colocalization: Cells treated with 1–10 μM BRACO-19 for 24 hours, triple-stained with anti-hTERT (TRITC), anti-ubiquitin (FITC), and DAPI. Fluorescence microscopy analyzed colocalization (yellow-orange in merged images). Telomere length: Genomic DNA isolated after 15-day treatment (1 μM), digested with HinfI/RsaI, and analyzed by Southern blot using telomere-specific probes.[1] HEK 293 cells infected with AdV-eGFP (MOI = 3) were treated with BRACO-19 (0–40 μM) in DMEM + 2% FBS. Fluorescence (GFP/mTFP) quantified at 12–24 h post-infection via microscopy/flow cytometry showed dose-dependent viral suppression (30–70% at 20–40 μM).[2] Cytotoxicity assays confirmed BRACO-19 had low toxicity in HEK 293 cells at effective concentrations (≤40 μM).[2] |

| Additional Infomation |
N,N'-(9-{[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]amino}acridine-3,6-diyl)bis(3-pyrrolidin-1-ylpropanamide) is a member of acridines and a N-alkylpyrrolidine.
BRACO-19 is a trisubstituted acridine G-quadruplex ligand that displaces telomerase from telomeric ends, inducing rapid uncapping and ubiquitin-mediated hTERT degradation. Effective only in tumors with short telomeres (e.g., UXF1138L: 2.7 kb). Oral bioavailability is low; i.p. delivery required for efficacy. Mechanism involves G-quadruplex stabilization → hTERT displacement → telomere dysfunction (atypical mitoses) → senescence/apoptosis. No ADME/toxicity data reported. [1] BRACO-19 is a trisubstituted acridine derivative that stabilizes viral G-quadruplexes, disrupting replication. It previously showed antiviral activity against HIV-1 and HSV by similar mechanisms.[2] This study identifies HAdV GQs as druggable targets; BRACO-19 represents a prototype for anti-adenoviral therapeutics targeting genomic secondary structures.[2] |
