ABSTRACT
DNA G-quadruplex(G4) is a guanine-rich single-stranded DNA sequence that spontaneously folds into a spherical four-stranded DNA secondary structure in oncogene promoter sequences and telomeres. G4s are highly associated with the occurrence and development of cancer and have emerged as promising anticancer targets. Natural products have long been important sources of anticancer drug development. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the discovery of natural drugs targeting DNA G4s, with many DNA G4s have been confirmed as promising targets of natural products, including MYC-G4, KRAS-G4, PDGFR-ß-G4, BCL-2-G4, VEGF-G4, and telomeric G4. This review summarizes the research progress in discovering natural small molecules that target DNA G4s and their binding mechanisms. It also discusses the opportunities of and challenges in developing drugs targeting DNA G4s. This review will serve as a valuable reference for the research on natural products, particularly in the development of novel antitumor medications.
