Identification of a new G-quadruplex ligand having anti-telomerase activity would be a promising strategy for cancer therapy. The screened compound from ZINC database using docking studies was experimentally verified for its binding with three different telomeric G-quadruplex DNA sequences and anti-telomerase activity in A549 cells. Identified compound is an intrinsic fluorescent molecule, permeable to live cells and has a higher affinity to 22AG out of three different telomeric G-quadruplex DNA. It showed cytotoxicity and a significant reduction of telomerase activity in human A549 cells at a very low dose. So, this compound has a good anti-cancer effect.
