Docking study of cistanoside C to telomeric DNA fragment

Experiments show that the natural products phenyl propanoid glycosides (PPGs) extracted from the plant Pedicularis spicata are capable of repairing DNA damaged by oxygen radicals. Based on kinetic measurements and experiments on tumor cells, a theoretical study of the interaction between PPG molecule Cistanoside C and telomeric DNA fragment has been carried out. The docking calculations performed using JUMNA software showed that the Cistanoside C could be docked into the minor groove of telomeric DNA and form complexes with the geometry suitable for an electron transfer between guanine radical and the ligand. Such complexes can be formed without major distortions of DNA structure and are further stabilized by the interaction with the saccharide side-groups.

Theoretical study of fast repair of DNA damage by cistanoside C and analogs: Mechanism and docking

Experiments show that the natural substances phenylpropanoid glycosides (PPGs) extracted from pelicularis spicata are capable of repairing DNA damaged by oxygen radicals. Based on kinetic measurements and experiments on tumor cells, a theoretical study of the interaction between PPG molecules and isolated DNA bases, as well as a DNA fragment has been performed.

Such complexes can be formed without major distortions of DNA structure and are further stabilized by the interaction with the rhamnosyl side-groups.

Dinuclear Ruthenium(II) Complexes That Induce and Stabilise G‐Quadruplex DNA

A series of dinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes were synthesised, and the complexes were determined to be new highly selective compounds for binding to telomeric G‐quadruplex DNA. The interactions of these complexes with telomeric G‐quadruplex DNA were studied by using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) melting assays, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and molecular modelling. The results showed that the complexes 1 , 2 and 4 induced and stabilised the formation of antiparallel G‐quadruplexes of telomeric DNA in the absence of salt or in the presence of 100 mM K⁺‐containing buffer. Furthermore, complexes 1 and 2 strongly bind to and effectively stabilise the telomeric G‐quadruplex structure and have significant selectivity for G‐quadruplex over duplex DNA. In comparison, complex 3 had a much lesser effect on the G‐quadruplex, suggesting that possession of a suitably sized plane for good π–π stacking with the G‐quadruplets is essential for the interaction of the dinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes with the G‐quadruplex. Moreover, telomerase inhibition by the four complexes and their cellular effects were studied, and complex 1 was determined to be the most promising inhibitor of both telomerase and HeLa cell proliferation.

Gel electrophoresis assay demonstrates that the two complexes have the ability to cleave pBR322 plasmid DNA. Cytotoxicity experiments were carried out toward four different cancer cell lines, and 1 shows lower inhibitory efficiency than 2, consistent with the binding affinities towards DNA.

Heteroleptic Pd(II) dithiocarbamates: synthesis,characterization, packing and in vitro anticancer activity against HeLa cell line

Two new heteroleptic Pd(II) dithiocarbamates (1 and 2) have been synthesized by reaction of equimolar quantities of palladium(II) chloride, sodium 4-(3-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-carbodithioate, and appropriate substituted triphenylphosphines. The synthesized complexes have been characterized by their physical, spectral (IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR), and X-ray crystallographic data. Complexes 1 and 2 showed square-planar geometry both in solution and solid states. The crystal packing of both complexes revealed similar 3-D-supramolecular networks comprised of 1-D chains. However, the nature and strength of various non-covalent interactions of these networks were slightly different. The DNA interaction studies of the complexes have been carried out by UV–visible spectroscopy to evaluate their anticancer potential. The study suggested intercalative interaction with 2.402 × 10⁴ and 2.713 × 10³ M^?1 binding constants, respectively. The complexes have also been evaluated for their anticancer activity against HeLa cell line. Both complexes showed higher activity with IC₅₀ values much lower (22.176 and 26.166 μM for 1 and 2, respectively) than the standard cisplatin (78.075 μM). Furthermore, the complexes induced stronger DNA fragmentation as investigated by DNA ladder assay for apoptosis. Our findings suggested that the anticancer action of these compounds stems from their interaction with DNA leading to DNA damage and apoptosis. The excellent activity of 1 and 2 deserves to be a focus for further research and in vivo studies.

Pharmacological properties of dicyanidoaurate(I)-based complexes: characterization and single crystal X-ray analysis

The synthesis of three bimetallic cyanido complexes with edbea [2,2′-(ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine)] ligand is reported. [Ni^II(μ-edbea)₂{Au(μ-CN)₂}₂]_n (1), [{Cu^II(edbea)}₂{Au(μ-CN)₂}₄]_n (2) and [Cd^II(edbea)₂][Au(CN)₂]₂·H₂O (3) were fully characterized by elemental, infrared, XRD (3), ESI-MS and thermal analysis. The DNA/BSA binding properties of these complexes were evaluated by spectrophotometric titration, fluorometric ethidium bromide kinetics, and DNA electrophoresis studies and their partially minor groove binding mode between the base pairs of DNA and electrostatic interaction between the amino acid residues of BSA were explained. The complexes were tested for their pharmacological properties. These molecules had excellent in vitro antiproliferative activity and also exhibited a strong tumor inhibiting effect against HT29, HeLa, C6 and Vero cell lines. These complexes had metastatic features as they are able to reduce cell migration activity and suppress tumor growth in vitro. Analysis of the DNA topoisomerase I relaxing activity indicates that the complexes do not inhibit topoisomerase I which regulates the topological states of the DNA double helix during DNA processing reactions. The TUNEL and DNA laddering assay results indicated that these compounds may destroy cell maintenance by triggering apoptosis. Immunohistochemistry staining analysis demonstrated that these complexes significantly decreased the expression of Bcl-2 in HeLa and HT29 cells while increasing the expression of P53 levels. Overall, the potent antiproliferative activity, low cytotoxic effect, good solubility, and micro molar range dosage observed for these complexes emphasizes their potential as anticancer drug candidates.

Synthesis,crystal structure and DNA interaction studies of three coordination polymers with mixed ligand

Three coordination polymers [Mn(Nip)(Pbim)] _n (1), [Co(Nip)(Pbim)] _n (2) and [Zn(Nip)(Pbim)] _n (3) [5-nitroisophthalate (Nip) and 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole (Pbim)] were synthesised and characterised by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

All of these chain-like structures are finally packed into supramolecular networks through hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions. Fluorescence spectral method has been used for the study on the interaction of film sperm DNA with complexes. The results show that the corresponding fluorescence spectrum appeared and the intensity was enhanced with the growth of the concentration of DNA. All of the results indicate that there exists strong interaction of the complexes with DNA.
