N,N''-苄基-1,2二胺合铜的合成和晶体结构及与DNA的相互作用

A ligand, (N,N'-dibenzylethane-1,2-diamine) (L), and its complex with copper acetate was synthesized and characterized by some spectral analyses. The copper(Ⅱ) ion is six-coordinated and exhibites octahedral coordination geometry, the coordination atoms are four nitrogen atoms from two (L) ligands and two carboxyl oxygen atoms from two acetic acid groups, respectively. After studying the interaction of the complex with calf thymus DNA through UV and fluorescence spectra, we can find that there is a strong binding and a large affinity berween the complex and calf thymus DNA.

Two Distinct Thermal Stabilities of DNA and Enzymatic Activities of DNase I in a Multistep Assembly with Carbazole Ligands: Different Binding Characteristics for Duplex and Quadruplex DNA

A partially hydrophobic carbazole ligand ((Im⁺)₂Cz: 2,2′‐(9‐ethyl‐9 H‐carbazole‐3,6‐diyl)bis(ethyne‐2,1‐diyl)bis(1,3‐dimethyl‐1 H‐imidazol‐3‐ium)) adopts two different binding states (binding states I and II) in its interactions with calf‐thymus (ct‐) DNA. Two distinct binding states were identified by biphasic UV/Vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectral changes during the titration of DNA into the carbazole ligand. At low concentrations of ct‐DNA, (Im⁺)₂Cz binds to nearly every part of ct‐DNA (binding state I). By contrast, an increased concentration of ct‐DNA results in a switch in the DNA‐binding state, so that the ligands are bound per five DNA base pairs. Similarly, a monocationic carbazole ligand (Im⁺Cz: 2‐((6‐bromo‐9‐ethyl‐9 H‐carbazol‐3‐yl)ethynyl)‐1,3‐dimethyl‐1 H‐imidazol‐3‐ium) also shows biphasic UV/Vis spectral changes during the titration of ct‐DNA into Im⁺Cz, which suggests two different binding states of the Im⁺Cz ligand with ct‐DNA. The stepwise equilibrium of the ligand–DNA‐complex formation is capable of switching the thermal stability of ct‐DNA, as well as the enzymatic activity of deoxyribonuclease (DNase I). In binding state I, the (Im⁺)₂Cz ligands interact with nearly every base pair in ct‐DNA and stabilize the double‐helix structure, which results in a larger increase in the melting temperature of the ct‐DNA than that observed with binding state II. On the other hand, the (Im⁺)₂Cz ligand significantly reduces the enzymatic activity of DNase I in binding state I, although the enzymatic activity is recovered once the binding state of the ligand–DNA complex is changed to binding state II. The (Im⁺)₂Cz ligand was also employed as a binder for G‐quadruplex DNA. In contrast to the stepwise complex formation between (Im⁺)₂Cz and ct‐DNA, (Im⁺)₂Cz shows a monotonous UV/Vis spectral response during the titration of G‐quadruplex DNA into (Im⁺)₂Cz, which suggests a single binding state for (Im⁺)₂Cz with G‐quadruplex DNA.     

Synthesis, DNA intercalation and europium(III)-triggered DNA photocleavage by a bis-proflavine succinamide conjugate

We describe the synthesis of a bis-proflavine derivative containing a succinamide linking chain. Levels of pUC19 plasmid DNA photocleavage by this compound are significantly enhanced in the presence of Eu³⁺ (350 nm, 22 °C, pH 7.0). UV-visible spectrophotometric studies of the ligand with calf thymus DNA show bathochromic-shifts and hypochromicity in the major absorption bands of the bis-proflavine derivative. Viscosimetric analysis of the helical extension of sonicated calf thymus DNA agrees with a monofunctional intercalation process.     

DNA-binding properties studies and spectra of a novel fluorescent Zn(II) complex with a new chromone derivative

A new chromone derivative (6-ethoxy chromone-3-carbaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone) ligand (L) and its two transition metal complexes [Zn(II) complex and Ni(II) complex] have been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, molar conductivity, mass spectra, UV–vis spectra and IR spectra. The Zn(II) complex exhibits light blue fluorescence under UV light, and the fluorescent properties of Zn(II) complex and the ligand in solid state and in different solutions (MeOH, DMF, THF and H₂O) were investigated. In addition, the interactions of the Zn(II) complex and the ligand with calf thymus DNA were investigated using UV–vis absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroic spectral methods and viscosity measurement. It was founded that both two compounds, especially the Zn(II) complex, strongly bind with calf thymus DNA, presumably via an intercalation mechanism.

The coordination environment around nickel(II) atom can be described as a distorted octahedral geometry. The interactions of the ligand pobb and the nickel (II) complex with calf thymus DNA (CT‐DNA) are investigated by using electronic absorption titration, ethidium bromide‐DNA displacement experiments and viscosity measurements. The experimental evidence indicated the compounds interact with calf thymus DNA through intercalation.     

Synthesis, characterization and interaction with DNA of ruthenium(II) mixed-ligand complexes containing pyridino[3,2-f] [1,7]phenanthroline

Summary A series of new complexes [RuL₂(pdphen)]²⁺, where pdphen is the planar ligand pyridino[3,2-f] [1,7]phenanthroline and L = 2,2-bipyridine, phenanthroline, 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline or 5-nitrophenanthroline, were prepared and characterized. The binding of [RuL₂-(pdphen)] ²⁺ to calf thymus DNA was investigated using absorption, fluorescence and circular dichroism (c.d.) spectroscopies. All of the complexes show absorption hypochromicity associated with binding to calf thymus DNA. [Ru(bipy)₂pdphen]²⁺ and [Ru(phen)₂pdphen]²⁺ also show fluorescence intensities and excited state life-time increases. The c.d. spectra of dialyzates from solutions of racemic complexes versus calf thymus DNA indicate enantioselectivity associated with binding to DNA.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic studies and crystal structure of the Schiff base ligand L derived from condensation of 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine and its complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II): Comparative DNA binding studies of L and its Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes

The Schiff base ligand, N,N'-bis-(2-thiophenecarboxaldimine)-3,3'-diaminobenzidine (L) obtained from condensation of 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine, was used to synthesize the complexes of type, [M2L2]Cl4 [M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)]. The newly synthesized ligand (L) was characterized on the basis of the results of elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopic studies and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The characteristic resonance signals in 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra indicated the presence of azomethine group as a result of condensation reaction. The stoichiometry, bonding and stereochemistries of complexes were ascertained on the basis of results of elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductance and spectroscopic studies viz., FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV-vis and EPR. EPR, UV-vis and magnetic moment data revealed an octahedral geometry for complexes with distortion in Cu(II) complex and conductivity data show 1:2 electrolytic nature of complexes. Absoption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies supported that Schiff base ligand L and its Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes exhibited significant binding to calf thymus DNA. The complexes exhibited higher affinity to calf thymus DNA than the free Schiff base ligand L.     

DNA binding,nuclease, and colon cancer cell inhibitory activity of a Cu(II) complex of a thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid derivative

Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid derivative (L) derived by condensation of D-penicillamine and 3-methoxy salicylaldehyde was used in synthesis of a copper complex (CuL). The ligand and Cu(II) complex were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral techniques. The DNA binding properties of L and CuL with calf thymus DNA were investigated by various techniques. The ability of compounds to break pUC19 DNA was checked by gel electrophoresis. The radical-scavenging activity was studied using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay. The ligand and CuL exert cytotoxicity against HCT116 cell line. The compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity against several microorganisms. The effect of the CuL on the surface of penicillium was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy.     

Fluorimetric estimation of DNA content using sensitized lanthanide fluorescence

Lanthanide fluorescence enhancement on complexation with calf thymus DNA was studied in aqueous solution. The DNA sensitized and enhanced fluorescence of terbium and europium by nearly two orders of magnitude. By applying this ligand sensitized lanthanide fluorescence enhancement, DNA could be estimated at 10 ppb level. Further, effect of addition of TOPO in Triton X-100 micellar medium to Tb-DNA complex in solution was also studied. On addition of TOPO, no synergistic terbium fluorescence enhancement was observed.     

Synthesis,crystal structures and characterization of late first row transition metal complexes derived from thiosemicarbazone hub: DNA binding/cleavage studies

Air‐ and moisture‐stable coordination compounds of late first row transition metals, i.e. Co(III), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), derived from the ligand (E)‐4‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐(1‐hydroxypropan‐2‐ylidene)thiosemicarbazide were prepared and successfully characterized using various spectro‐analytical techniques. The molecular structures of the ligand LH and complexes C1 and C2 were determined using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The complexes C1 and C2 are stabilized by weak intermolecular CH???π stacking interactions: C1 between phenyl rings (C2–H21???C2) with a contact distance of 2.855 Å and C2 between phenyl ring and thione sulfur (C13???S1) with a contact distance of 3.366(6) Å. Complex C3 is found to be electrochemically active in the working potential range, showing a quasi‐reversible redox process. The interactions of all the compounds with calf thymus DNA were comprehensively investigated using electronic absorption spectroscopy, viscosity and thermal denaturation studies. Cleavage studies of Escherichia coli DNA were monitored using agarose gel electrophoresis. The results show that LH and complex C4 bind to calf thymus DNA through partial intercalation, while remaining complexes bind electrostatically. Further, C1, C2 and C4 complexes show better cleavage potential towards E. coli DNA. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The effect of charge on the volume change of DNA binding with intercalator DAPP

To study the effect of ligand charge on DNA-ligand binding, we measured the difference in volume change of the noncovalent complex formed between calf thymus DNA and the charged and uncharged form of 3,8-diamino-6-phenylphenanthridine (DAPP). We found that the volume change for binding with the charged DAPPH+ is about 7.8 +/- 1.5 cm3 mol(-1) more positive than with the neutral DAPP. We hypothesize that this large difference in interaction volume originates from partial desolvation of the charge of DAPPH+ when it is bound to DNA.

MONOADDITION OF DICTAMNINE TO SYNTHETIC DOUBLE-STRANDED POLYDEOXYRIBONUCLEOTIDES IN UVA AND THE EFFECT OF PHOTOMODIFIED DNA ON TEMPLATE ACTIVITY

Abstract— The photoreactivity of dictamnine, a furoquinoline alkaloid, towards different synthetic DNAs has been studied. The ratio of the photobinding of [₃H]-dictamnine to poly(dA-dT) poly(dA-dT): poly(dG-dC) poly(dG-dC): poly(dA-dU) poly(dA-dU): poly(dA) poly(dT), in relation to that of calf thymus DNA, is 18:1:0.5:0.3. Prior treatment of calf thymus DNA with dictamnine in light inhibits the subsequent incorporation of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP). These results suggest that the sites in DNA for the photobinding of dictamnine are probably identical with those for monoad-ducts of 8-MOP. Furthermore, the template activity of photomodified DNA in the RNA polymerase reaction is considerably inhibited for poly(dA-dT)poly(dA-dT), to a lesser extent for calf thymus DNA, but almost not affected for the linear copolymer, poly(dA)-poly(dT).

This complex is found to promote photocleavage of the DNA plasmid pBR322 and shows a cytotoxic effect against CHO cells.     

Fluorescent Complexes of Nucleic Acids/8-Hydroxyquinoline/Lanthanum(III) and the Fluorometry of Nucleic Acids

Abstract

The ternary fluorescent complexes of nucleic acids/8-hydroxyquinoline/ lanthanum (III) were studied. Nucleic acids in the study involve natured and thermally denatured calf thymus DNA, fish sperm DNA and yeast RNA. In the range of pH 8.0–8.4 (controlled by NH₃-NH₄Cl buffer) ternary fluorescent complexes are formed which emit at 485.0 nm for calf thymus DNA and at 480.0 nm for yeast RNA (when excited at 267.0 nm) and emits at 483.0 nm for fish sperm DNA when excited at 265.0 nm. Based on the fluorescence reactions sensitive fluorometric methods for nucleic acids were proposed. Using optimal conditions, the calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.4–3.6 μg˙ml^?1 for calf thymus DNA, 0.4–4.0 μg-ml^?1 for fish sperm DNA and 0.4–4.0 μg˙ml^?1 for yeast RNA, respectively. The limits of determination (3σ) were 0.076 μg˙ml^?1 for calf thymus DNA, 0.068 μg˙ml^?1 for fish sperm DNA and 0.329 μg˙ml^?1 for yeast RNA, respectively. Five synthetic samples were determined with satisfaction.

     

The pH-induced emission switching and interesting DNA-binding properties of a novel dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex

A novel dinuclear Ru(II) complex, [(bpy)(2)Ru(ebipcH(2))Ru(bpy)(2)](ClO(4))(4), where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and ebipcH(2) = N-ethyl-4,7-bis([1,10]-phenanthroline[5,6-f]imidazol-2-yl)carbazole, has been newly synthesized. The pH effects on UV-vis absorption and emission spectra of the complex are studied, and ground- and excited-state ionization constants of the complex are derived. The binding of the complex to calf thymus (ct) DNA is investigated with absorption and luminescence titrations, steady-state emission quenching, and viscosity measurements. The complex acts as a pH-induced "on-off" emission switch between pH 8.0 and pH 10.0 with a maximum on-off ratio of approximately 100 which is favorably compared with the other imidazole-containing Ru(II) complex congeners, and a strong ct-DNA intercalator with an intrinsic binding constant of 1.31(+/-0.08) x 10(6) M(-)(1) in buffered 50 mM NaCl.     

Three novel Ni(II), VO(II) and Cr(III) mononuclear complexes encompassing potentially tridentate imine ligand: Synthesis,structural characterization,DNA interaction,antimicrobial evaluation and anticancer activity

Three novel Cr(III),VO(II) and Ni(II) imine complexes derived from the condensation of 2‐aminophenol (AP) with 2‐hydroxynaphthaldehyde (HN) were synthesized. The prepared HNAP imine ligand and its complexes were investigated via various physicochemical tools. The results suggest that the parent ligand behaves as a dibasic tridentate ONO ligand, when coordinated to Cr(III) in octahedral and to Ni(II) in tetrahedral geometry. In the case of VO(II), it coordinates in distorted square pyramidal geometry. Also, the prepared compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli (−ve), Bacillus subtilis (+ve) and Staphylococcus aureus (+ve), and some types of fungi, Aspergillus niger , Candida glabrata and Trichophyton rubrum . The results indicate that the complexes show a stronger antimicrobial efficiency compared to the pro‐ligand. The interaction of the prepared complexes with calf thymus DNA was investigated using spectral, viscosity and gel electrophoresis measurements. The obtained results clearly demonstrate that the binding affinity with calf thymus DNA follows the order HNAPCr > HNAPV > HNAPNi. The cytotoxic activity of the prepared compounds on human colon carcinoma cells (HCT‐116 cell line), hepatic cellular carcinoma cells (HepG‐2cell line) and breast carcinoma cells (MCF‐7cell line) was examined. From these results it is found that the investigated complexes have potent cytotoxicity against growth of carcinoma cells compared to the corresponding imine pro‐ligand.     

Raman spectroscopic study of microcosmic photodamage of the space structure of DNA sensitized by Yangzhou haematoporphyrin derivative and Photofrin II

After calf thymus DNA has been photodamaged by Yangzhou haematoporphyrin derivative (YHPD) or Photofrin II, the Raman characteristic frequencies and the intensities of the bands assigned to various groups of the components of DNA change considerably. As a result of damage, homogeneous B-form calf thymus DNA becomes a mixture containing: (1) modified B-form DNA, which is shorter than the original because of double-helical DNA scission; (2) single-stranded DNA due to the breakage of some H-bonds and the lack of some bases, etc.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of transition metal complexes derived from novel benzofuran hydrazone chelating ligand: DNA cleavage studies and antimicrobial activity with special emphasis on antituberculosis

Mononuclear divalent complexes of Co, Ni, Cu and Zn derived from a benzofuran‐based novel hydrazone tridentate ligand were synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic methods. Elemental analysis reveals that the metal‐to‐ligand ratio is 1:2 which is supported by mass spectrometry results. Conductivity measurements suggest that all the complexes are non‐electrolytic in nature. The ligand and complexes were evaluated for their antimicrobial potency. Bioassay of all hydrazone chelates shows enhanced activity as compared to that of the ligand. The complex with cobalt ion as the metal centre shows better activity against fungi than the standard. Also, ligand and complexes were screened for antituberculosis activity; some analogues (Ni, Cu, Zn) are eight times more active than the standard. Both ligand and complexes show moderate ability to cleave calf thymus DNA. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
