CX-5461,also known as pidnarulex,is a strong G4 stabilizer and has received FDA fast-track designa-tion for BRCA1-and BRCA2-mutated cancers.However,quantitative measurements of the unfolding rates of CX-5461-G4 complexes which are important for the regulation function of G4s,remain lacking.Here,we employ single-molecule magnetic tweezers to measure the unfolding force distributions of c-MYC G4s in the presence of different concentrations of CX-5461.The unfolding force distributions ex-hibit three discrete levels of unfolding force peaks,corresponding to three binding modes.In combina-tion with a fluorescent quenching assay and molecular docking to previously reported ligand-c-MYC G4 structure,we assigned the~69 pN peak corresponding to the 1∶1(ligand:G4)complex where CX-5461 binds at the G4's 5'-end.The~84 pN peak is attributed to the 2:1 complex where CX-5461 occupies both the 5'and 3'.Furthermore,using the Bell-Arrhenius model to fit the unfolding force distributions,we determined the zero-force unfolding rates of 1∶1,and 2∶1 complexes to be(2.4±0.9)× 10-8 s-1 and(1.4±1.0)× 10-9 s-1 respectively.These findings provide valuable insights for the development of G4-targeted ligands to combat c-MYC-driven cancers.
