These results greatly expand the potential of tricyclic anthraquinone pharmacophore in preventive and/or curative therapy.
Expression of the telomerase catalytic component, the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), is believed to be controlled primarily at the level of transcription.

The present study details the effects on human telomerase of these new classes of 1,4- and 1,5-difunctionalized tricyclic anthraquinone compounds.
We have used cytotoxicity assay, reporter SEAP assay to monitor the hTERT expression, and TRAP-G4 assay to measure the relative activity of these compounds, and have examined how the attached substituents affect their ability to influence telomerase.
