Synthesis,characterization, duplex-DNA interactions,and anticancer activities of novel octahedral [Ni(phen)2(dppz-idzo)]2+ and [Co(phen)2(dppz-idzo)]3+ complexes

Two new octahedral [Ni(phen)₂(dppz-idzo)]²⁺ and [Co(phen)₂(dppz-idzo)]³⁺ complexes have been synthesized and characterized by CHN analysis, electrospray ionization-MS, nuclear magnetic resonance, and UV–Vis spectra. The DNA-binding ability of these complexes was spectrophotometrically, hydrodynamically, and electrophoretically evaluated which indicated that they strongly intercalate into the DNA double helix, and that both induced severe DNA damage in the presence of peroxide. The complexes also showed strong antiproliferative effect against HepG2 and MDA-MB-231 cells. By contrast, they were found to be inactive against the MCF-7 cell line. The ligand itself was found to be inactive against the cells tested.     

Accurate,sensitive determination of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in human plasma,urine samples

Quantitative determination of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in human plasma and urine with high accuracy and precision provides significant information to monitor the underlying etiology of several diseases. In this regard, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry is a good choice owing to its great selectivity and sensitivity. Additionally, the hybrid quadrupole–time of flight–mass spectrometer systems provides easy identification of target compounds with superior mass measurements. In this study, an analytical method has been developed for simple, accurate and simultaneous determination of linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid in a short chromatographic analysis period. The developed method is suitable for the quantitative detection of these four compounds with detection limits ranging between 1.1–3.0 ng ml⁻¹ and its applicability was assessed in human urine and plasma samples. As a result, acceptable accuracy (between 83 and 111%) and good precision (<6%) were obtained for target compounds using matrix matching calibration strategy.
