Quinoline Functionalized Schiff Base Silver (I) Complexes: Interactions with Biomolecules and In Vitro Cytotoxicity,Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities

A series of fifteen silver (I) quinoline complexes Q1–Q15 have been synthesized and studied for their biological activities. Q1–Q15 were synthesized from the reactions of quinolinyl Schiff base derivatives L1–L5 (obtained by condensing 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde with various aniline derivatives) with AgNO₃, AgClO₄ and AgCF₃SO₃. Q1–Q15 were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and the structures of [Ag(L1)₂]NO₃ Q1, [Ag(L1)₂]ClO₄ Q6, [Ag(L2)₂]ClO₄ Q7, [Ag(L2)₂]CF₃SO₃ Q12 and [Ag(L4)₂]CF₃SO₃ Q14 were unequivocally determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In vitro antimicrobial tests against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria revealed the influence of structure and anion on the complexes′ moderate to excellent antibacterial activity. In vitro antioxidant activities of the complexes showed their good radical scavenging activity in ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Complexes with the fluorine substituent or the thiophene or benzothiazole moieties are more potent with IC₅₀ between 0.95 and 2.22 mg/mL than the standard used, ascorbic acid (2.68 mg/mL). The compounds showed a strong binding affinity with calf thymus-DNA via an intercalation mode and protein through a static quenching mechanism. Cytotoxicity activity was examined against three carcinoma cell lines (HELA, MDA-MB231, and SHSY5Y). [Ag(L2)₂]ClO₄ Q7 with a benzothiazole moiety and [Ag(L4)₂]ClO₄ Q9 with a methyl substituent had excellent cytotoxicity against HELA cells.     

Synthesis,structure, and biological properties of a Co(II) complex with tridentate Schiff base ligand

A new Co(II) complex of general formula [Co(L)₂] has been synthesized from a NNO tridentate Schiff base ligand, 2-[(piperidin-2-ylmethylimino)-methyl]-phenol (L). The title complex is characterized by elemental, spectroscopic, antibacterial, and single crystal X-ray structural studies. X-Ray crystallography reveals that the complex shows a distorted octahedral geometry around the Co(II) ion. The complex was tested against several bacteria and shows good antibacterial activities against almost all of the bacteria. The interactions of the title complex with calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (CT-DNA) have been investigated by electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, showing that the complex interacts with CT-DNA via partial intercalation. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the complex has also been reported and the result shows that the complex is thermally stable up to 134 °C.     

Design,synthesis and theoretical analysis of functionalized dicarboxylate moieties based on organotin(IV) dinuclear complexes: crystal structure elucidation and biological studies

Dinuclear tin(IV) dicarboxylate complexes of the types [(n-Bu)₂Sn(oda)(4-pic)]₂·2H₂O (1) and [(n-Bu)₂Sn(pda)(H₂O)]₂ (2) [H₂oda = oxydiacetic acid; H₂pda = pyridine 2,6-dicarboxylic acid) were synthesized and characterized via physicochemical and spectroscopic studies. The spectroscopic results indicated that Sn is seven-coordinate having pentagonal bipyramidal (pbp) geometry in both complexes. The X-ray study of complex 2 further specified pentagonal bipyramidal geometry with dinuclear structural arrangement due to the involvement of carboxylate bridges formed by pda^2? moiety. The crystal structure is further stabilized by different weak interactions viz., C–C?H, C–C?O, C–H?O, C–C?O, and C–H?H. These interactions are further supported by Hirshfeld surface analysis along with 2-D fingerprint plots of complex 2. In vitro DNA-binding studies of both complexes were evaluated using spectroscopic techniques (absorbance and fluorescence) which ascertained optimum binding affinity of both complexes. However, cleavage activity of the complexes was assessed using supercoiled DNA (pBR322) via gel electrophoresis technique which demonstrated significant cleavage pattern of both complexes at different concentrations. Furthermore, chemotherapeutic potential of complexes 1 and 2 against MCF-7 and Hep carcinoma cell lines also suggested significant antiproliferative effect of complexes. These results revealed momentous exploration of drug–DNA interactions which may engender new insinuation for the advancement of metallo-pharmaceuticals.

Stannoxane capping derived from chiral tridentate NNO donor ligand for nickel and copper macrocycles: Comparative binding studies of stannoxane moiety and its modulated copper complex with CTDNA

Novel stannoxane type dinuclear tin complex C₁₆H₁₃N₄O₂Sn₂Cl₇ (1) and its modulated macrocyclic complexes [C₂₄H₃₆N₁₀O₃Sn₂CuCl₇] ClO₄ (2) and [C₂₄H₃₄N₁₀O₂Sn₂NiCl₇] ClO₄ (3) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and various spectroscopic techniques (IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, ESI-MS, EPR and UV-Vis). ¹¹⁹Sn NMR shows the presence of two tin metal centers in different environment. The proposed pseudo-octahedral geometry of copper in complex 2 and square pyramidal geometry of nickel in complex 3 were established by the analysis of spectroscopic data. Absorption and fluorescence spectral studies and viscosity measurements have been carried out to assess the comparative binding of dinuclear stannoxane complex 1 and its modulated copper complex 2 with calf thymus DNA. The intrinsic binding constants K_b of the complex 1 and 2 were determined as 4.4 × 10⁴ M⁻¹ and 7.5 × 10⁴ M⁻¹, respectively. Cyclic voltammetric studies have also been employed to ascertain the binding of complex 2 with CTDNA. The results suggest that the complex 2 binds to CTDNA twice in the order of magnitude compared to complex 1. Interaction studies of complex 2 with guanosine 5′-monophosphate further confirm the binding via N₇ position of guanine and phosphate moiety.

The interaction of these complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was explored through electronic absorption spectra, fluorescence and redox behavior studies. The results showed that the complexes bind to CT-DNA with electrostatic interactions. Nanoparticles of RuO₂ were prepared by calcination of R2 and R4. Also the role of the ultrasound waves on the characteristics of the RuO₂ nanoparticles was studied. The nanoparticles were characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Also size and morphology of nanoparticles were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
