Synthesis,Crystal Structure and DNA Binding Studies of α,α'-Bis(3,5-bismethyl-1-pyrozolyl)-carbene-acetyl-isopropenyl Hydrazine

The title compound α,α'-bis(3,5-bismethyl-pyrozole-N-yl)-carbene-acetyl-isopro- penyl hydrazine (C16H22N6O, Mr = 314.40) has been prepared. It was characterized by elemental analysis as well as IR, MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra. Its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, getting the following data: triclinic, space group P1 with a = 6.9734(16), b = 10.773(3), c = 12.001(3) , α = 75.311(4), β = 82.695(4), γ = 77.143(4)o, Z = 2, V = 847.9(3) 3, Dc = 1.231 g/cm3, F(000) = 336 and μ(MoKα) = 0.082 mm-1 (λ = 0.71073 ). The results of crystal structure determination show that there exist intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in a two-dimensional supramolecular framework of the title compound. The binding of the title compound to DNA was investigated by absorption, emission, and viscosity measurements. The title compound shows absorption hyperchromicity accompanied by a blue shift at about 254 nm. The binding constant Kb for the title compound has been determined to be 1.89 × 104 M-1 from absorption measurements. The addition of the title compound to DNA pretreated with EB causes appreciable reduction in the emission intensity, indicating that the DNA-bound EB fluorophore is partially replaced by the title compound. The value of K is 3.093 × 104 M-1. The relative viscosity of DNA decreased with the addition of the title compound. Results suggest that the title compound binds to DNA with a non-classical intercalative or groove interaction mode. The observed efficient nuclease activity of the title compound is interesting and may have further influences on the chemistry of DNA minor groove binders.
