To extend the target DNA sequence length of the hairpin pyrrole-imidazole (Py-Im) polyamide 1, we designed and synthesized Y-shaped and tandem hairpin Py-Im polyamides 2 and 3, which possess 1-(chloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-benz[e]indole (seco-CBI) as DNA-alkylating moieties. High-resolution denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis by using 5'-Texas-Red-labeled 465 base pair (bp) DNA fragments revealed that conjugates 2 and 3 alkylated the adenine of the target DNA sequences at nanomolar concentrations. Conjugate 2 alkylated adenine N3 at the 3' end of two 8 bp match sequences, 5'-AATAACCA-3' (site A) and 5'-AAATTCCA-3' (site C), while conjugate 3 recognized one 10bp match sequence, 5'-AGAATAACCA-3' (siteA) in the 465 bp DNA fragments. These results demonstrate that seco-CBI conjugates of Y-shaped and tandem hairpin polyamides have extended their target alkylation sequences.
