G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-B DNA structures present in guanine-rich regions of gene regulatory areas, promoters and CpG islands, but their occurrence and functions remain incompletely understood. Thus, methodology to identify G4 sequences is needed. Here, we describe the synthesis of a novel cyclic hepta-oxazole compound, L1Bio-7OTD (1), bearing a biotin affinity-tag as a tool to pull down G4 structures from mixtures of G4-forming and non G4-forming DNA sequences. We confirmed that it could pull down G4s associated with telomeres, bcl-2 gene, and c-kit gene.
