Synthesis of a novel anticancer prodrug designed to target telomerase sequence

Abstract
A curcumin conjugate viz. 1,7-bis (4- O-glycinoyl- 3-methoxyphenyl)-l,6-heptadiene-3, 5, dione (I) was synthesised and after attachment of linker (- CH2- CH2-OH) phosphitylated. This unit was attached to the deoxy- 11 mer, 5′-GTT AGG GTT AG-3′, a complementary sequence of telomerase RNA template. Its hybridisation with the telomerase RNA sequence, 5′-CUA ACC CUA AC-3′ has been studied employing Tm.
