Introduction: The median survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (astrocytoma grade 4) remains less than 18 months despite radical surgery, radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy. Surgical implantation of chemotherapy eluting wafers into th...

RHPS4 G-quadruplex ligand induces anti-proliferative effects in brain tumor cells (2014)
Journal Article
Lagah, S., Tan, I.-L., Radhakrishnan, P., Hirst, R. A., Ward, J. H., O'Callaghan, C., …Rahman, R. (2014). RHPS4 G-quadruplex ligand induces anti-proliferative effects in brain tumor cells. PLoS ONE, 9(1), Article e86187. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0086187

Background
Telomeric 3’ overhangs can fold into a four-stranded DNA structure termed G-quadruplex (G4), a formation which inhibits telomerase. As telomerase activation is crucial for telomere maintenance in most cancer cells, several classes of G4...
