Harnessing an emissive guanine surrogate to design small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors of O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT)

Abstract

The fluorescence properties of an emissive guanine surrogate, thienoguanine (thGN, 2-aminothieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one), were exploited to design two real-time chemosensors of O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT), a key DNA repair enzyme involved in the resistance to DNA-alkylating anti-cancer drugs though direct reversal of O6-alkylated guanine adducts.
