Acridine and quindoline oligomers linked through a 4-aminoproline backbone prefer G-quadruplex structures

[Background] DNA-intercalating drugs are planar molecules with several fused aromatic rings that form stacks between DNA base pairs, reducing the opening and unwinding of the double helix. Recently, interest on intercalating agents has moved in the search for new ligands to G-quadruplex structures.
