Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Studies on the Interaction of Gallocyanine with DNA

The interaction of gallocyanine (GC) with double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) in pH 3.5 Tris‐HCl buffer solution was investigated by electrochemical methods and spectrophotometric methods as well. In the potential scan range of ‐0.25 ? +0.18 V(vs. SCE), GC had a couple of well‐defined redox peaks at ‐0.022 V and ‐0.069 V on a cyclic voltammogram at the scan rate of 100.0 mV/s, respectively. After the addition of dsDNA into the GC solution, the redox‐peak currents decreased obviously and the peak potentials shifted positively. The results demonstrated that GC binding to DNA was caused by intercalation. Electrochemical parameters such as the electron number (n), the charge transfer coefficient (α) and the electrochemical reaction standard rate constant (k_s) were calculated and compared in the absence and presence of dsDNA. Almost unchanged values of the electrochemical parameters after adding dsDNA showed that non‐electroactive complexes were formed when GC interacted with DNA. The results indicated that the decrease of the redox‐peak currents was caused by the decrease of the free concentration of GC in the reaction solution. The binding constant and binding ratio were investigated by spectrophotometric methods. DNA concentration can be determined by the decrease of the peak current of GC. The linear range for dsDNA was in the range of 1.45 × 10^?7 ? 1.45 × 10^?6mol/Land 1.45 × 10^?6 ? 1.45 × 10^?5 mol/L, respectively with the linear regression equation as Δi_P (10^?7 A) = 0.037 + 0.018C (10^?7mol/L), and Δi_P (10^?7 A) = 0.25 + 0.041C (10^?6mol/L), respectively, and the detection limit (3σ) was 1.13 × 10^?7 mol/L.

Electrochemical Studies of the Interaction of 2‐Nitroacridone with DNA and Determination of DNA

A new acridone derivate 2‐nitroacridone (NAD) was synthesized and a new method of electrochemical probe has been proposed for the determination of salmon sperm DNA based on its interaction with NAD. The electrochemical behavior of interaction of NAD with DNA was investigated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). In the presence of DNA, the peak current of NAD decreases and the peak potential shifts to a more positive potential without appearance of a new peak. The binding ratio between NAD and salmon sperm DNA was calculated to be 2 : 1 and the binding constant was 3.19×10⁵ L/mol. The decrease of the peak current (ΔI_p) of NAD was proportional to the concentration of DNA in the range from 1.55×10^?7 M to 2.02×10^?6 M with the detection limit of 3.10×10^?8 M, and DNA of synthetic sample was determined satisfactorily. Additionally, the binding mechanism was preliminarily discussed. The mode of interaction between NAD and DNA was found to be intercalation binding.     

An ab initio study of the conformational preferences of Hoechst 33258 in gas-phase and aqueous solution environments

A quantum mechanical study of the conformational preferences of Hoechst 33258, a synthetic minor groove-binding drug, has been performed in both gas-phase and aqueous solution. Gas-phase calculations were performed at the HF/6-31G(d) and MP2/6-31G(d) levels of theory, whereas calculations in the aqueous solution phase were performed using the PCM model with the 6-31G(d) basis set. The molecule was divided into three fragments, which were submitted to a systematic and detailed conformational study. The results clearly indicate that Hoechst 33258 does not adopt a planar conformation in either the gas-phase or aqueous solution. Thus, a folded conformation is not induced by binding of the molecule to DNA, but is an intrinsic property of the compound.

Improved Fluorometric DNA Determination Based on the Interaction of the DNA/Polycation Complex with Hoechst 33258

When DNA is mixed with the cationic polyelectrolyte poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA), the DNA/PDDA complex is formed instantaneously at room temperature. This complex is much more efficient in enhancing the fluorescence of Hoechst 33258 (H 33258) than DNA alone. Based on the interaction of H 33258 with the DNA/PDDA complex, a new fluorescence assay for DNA is described. At pH 7.3 in Tris-HCl buffered solution, the DNA/PDDA complex causes a sharp enhancement in fluorescence intensity of H 33258. Simultanously, the emission maximum wavelength of H 33258 blueshifts from 490nm to 450nm, while the excitation redshifts from 345 to 350nm. The calibration graphs for calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) and herring sperm DNA (hsDNA) are both linear up to 5.0µgmL^–1 when the concentration of H 33258 and PDDA are fixed at 1.5×10^–6 and 1.6×10^–5molL^–1, respectively. The method is specific for native DNA. The 3 detection limits for ctDNA and hsDNA are 1.8 and 5.6ngmL^–1, respectively, i.e. much lower than in the presence of H 33258 alone. Four synthetic samples were determined satisfactorily. This method can also be developed to investigate the formation and the nature of the complexes between DNA and polycations, which have recently been widely applied in some fields such as genetic engineering and gene therapy.     

Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Studies on the Interaction of Malachite Green with DNA and Its Application

The interaction of malachite green (MG) with double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) in pH 7.0 Britton–Robinson (B–R) buffer solution was investigated by electrochemical and spectrophotometric methods. Within the potential scan range of ?1.0 to +1.5 V (vs. SCE), MG has two oxidative peaks at 0.547 V and 0.833 V and one reductive peak at 0.362 V on cyclic voltammogram at the scan rate of 0.20 V/s. After the addition of dsDNA into the MG solution, the oxidative peak current at 0.547 V decreases obviously. The electrochemical parameters, such as the charge transfer coefficient (α), the surface reaction rate constant (k_s) and the diffusion coefficient (D), were calculated and compared between in the absence and presence of dsDNA. The results show that these parameters of MG after adding dsDNA have greatly changed, which indicates that an electrochemical active complex was formed. The interaction mechanisms of MG with dsDNA are discussed in some details from the electrochemistry and UV‐vis spectrophotometry. The reduction of the peak current of MG after adding dsDNA was further used for the quantification of dsDNA by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The linear range for dsDNA is in the range of 10.0–100.0 μg/mL with the linear regression equation as Δi_p (μA)=0.065+0.0096 C (μg/mL) and the detection limit of 6.0 μg/mL (3σ). The influences of coexisting substances were investigated and artificial samples were determined with satisfactory results.     

Cobalt(II)–metformin complexes containing α‐diimine/α‐diamine as auxiliary ligand: DNA binding properties

The cobalt(II) complexes [Co(Cl)₂(met)(o‐phen)] ( 1 ), [Co(Cl)₂(en)(met)] ( 2 ) and [Co(Cl)₂(met)(opda)] ( 3 ) (met = metformin, o‐phen = ortho‐phenanthroline, en = ethylenediamine, opda = ortho‐phenylenediamine) were synthesized and characterized using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, magnetic moment measurements, electronic spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction. The metal centre was found to be in an octahedral geometry. UV–visible absorption, fluorescence and viscosity measurements were conducted to assess the interaction of the complexes with calf thymus DNA. The complexes showed absorption hyperchromism in UV–visible spectra with DNA. The binding constants from UV–visible absorption studies were 1.38 × 10⁵, 2.1 × 10⁵ and 3.1 × 10⁵ M^?1 for 1 , 2 and 3 , respectively, and Stern–Volmer quenching constants from fluorescence studies were 0.146, 0.176 and 0.475, respectively. Viscosity measurements revealed that the binding of the complexes with DNA could be surface binding, mainly due to groove binding. The activities of the complexes in DNA cleavage decrease in the order 3 > 2 > 1 . The complexes were docked into DNA topoisomerase II using Discovery Studio 2.1 software.     

Initial DNA Interactions of the Binuclear Threading Intercalator Λ,Λ‐[μ‐bidppz(bipy)4Ru2]4+: An NMR Study with [d(CGCGAATTCGCG)]2

Binuclear polypyridine ruthenium compounds have been shown to slowly intercalate into DNA, following a fast initial binding on the DNA surface. For these compounds, intercalation requires threading of a bulky substituent, containing one Ru^II, through the DNA base‐pair stack, and the accompanying DNA duplex distortions are much more severe than with intercalation of mononuclear compounds. Structural understanding of the process of intercalation may greatly gain from a characterisation of the initial interactions between binuclear Ru^II compounds and DNA. We report a structural NMR study on the binuclear Ru^II intercalator Λ,Λ‐B (Λ,Λ‐[μ‐bidppz(bipy)₄Ru₂]⁴⁺; bidppz=11,11′‐bis(dipyrido[3,2‐a:2′,3′‐c]phenazinyl, bipy = 2,2′‐bipyridine) mixed with the palindromic DNA [d(CGCGAATTCGCG)]₂. Threading of Λ,Λ‐B depends on the presence and length of AT stretches in the DNA. Therefore, the latter was selected to promote initial binding, but due to the short stretch of AT base pairs, final intercalation is prevented. Structural calculations provide a model for the interaction: Λ,Λ‐B is trapped in a well‐defined surface‐bound state consisting of an eccentric minor‐groove binding. Most of the interaction enthalpy originates from electrostatic and van der Waals contacts, whereas intermolecular hydrogen bonds may help to define a unique position of Λ,Λ‐B. Molecular dynamics simulations show that this minor‐groove binding mode is stable on a nanosecond scale. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first structural study by NMR spectroscopy on a binuclear Ru compound bound to DNA. In the calculated structure, one of the positively charged Ru²⁺ moieties is near the central AATT region; this is favourable in view of potential intercalation as observed by optical methods for DNA with longer AT stretches. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy suggests that a similar binding geometry is formed in mixtures of Λ,Λ‐B with natural calf thymus DNA. The present minor‐groove binding mode is proposed to represent the initial surface interactions of binuclear Ru^II compounds prior to intercalation into AT‐rich DNA.     

Lactofen – Electrochemical Sensing and Interaction with dsDNA

The electrochemical reduction of lactofen (LCT) at the glassy carbon (GCE) and silver amalgam film electrode (AMFE) is investigatedin detail by the means of square wave voltammetry (SWV), square wave stripping voltammetry (SWSV) and cyclic voltammetry. The influence of various factors such as supporting electrolyte composition and SW parameters were studied. The AMFE electrode showed an excellent electrochemical activity toward the electro‐reduction of LCT, leading to a significant improvement in sensitivity as compared to the glassy carbon electrode.The SWSV detection limits for GCE and AMFE were 285.0 nM and 2.0 nM, respectively. The applicability of the developed voltammetric method for analysis of tap water and river water is illustrated with spiked samples analysis. Moreover, as lactofen is highly toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms, its interaction with dsDNA isolated from salmon sperm was tested. The intercalative mode of LCT binding to dsDNA was estimated. The heterogeneous rate constants were calculated for the free LCT and the LCT‐dsDNA complex. Moreover, LCT‐dsDNA complex binding ratio and equilibrium constant were determined. The decrease in the SWV peak current of LCT in the presence of dsDNA was used for the determination of dsDNA.     

Electrochemical Studies of the Recognition Interaction of Rhodamine B with DNA

The recognition interaction of rhodamine B (RB) with DNA was studied in pH 7.5 Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution by electrochemical techniques. An irreversible oxidation peak at glassy carbon electrode was obtained at 0.92V (vs. SCE). After the addition of DNA into the RB solution, the peak current of RB decreased apparently without the shift of peak potential. The electrochemical parameters such as the charge transfer coefficient α and the electrode reaction standard rate constant ks of RB in the absence and presence of DNA were determined, which did not change, indicating that a non-electroactive complex was formed, so the concentration of RB in the solution decreased and the peak current decreased correspondingly.

Electrochemical Activity of Wedelolactone and Probing its Interaction with DNA Using Voltammetry at a Carbon Electrode

Wedelolactone (WLA) is a polyphenolic coumestan derivative found in extracts of plants used in traditional medicine. Due to its cytostatic activity, WLA is one of natural compounds tested as potential anticancer drugs. In this work we for the first time studied electrochemical properties of WLA using cyclic (CV) and square‐wave (SWV) voltammetry at the basal‐plane pyrolytic graphite electrode. A reversible pair of peaks, corresponding to catechol/o‐benzoquinone redox system, was observed using CV around 0.275 V vs. Ag|AgCl|3 M KCl reference electrode. Measurements of SWV signal of WLA in the presence of single‐ or double‐stranded DNA suggested a weak interaction without evident preference for double‐stranded DNA. An indirect assay, employing electroactive DNA intercalator doxorubicin as competitor, confirmed absence of intercalative DNA binding of WLA.

Voltammetric Behavior of Antileukemia Drug Glivec. Part II – Redox Processes of Glivec Electrochemical Metabolite

Glivec is a newly developed drug that belongs to the class of 2‐phenylaminopyrimidine. It is a potent inhibitor of ABL‐kinase, the main clinical manifestation of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Based on its activity on CML, glivec is undergoing extensive evaluation for its activity against other tumor types. Detection and quantitation of glivec in biological fluids or cells is thus very important. The antileukemia drug glivec undergoes oxidation at glassy carbon electrodes and involves the formation of an oxidation product, P_glivec. The adsorption of P_glivec at the GCE surface yields a compact monolayer allowing an electrochemical study of this compound adsorbed at the GCE surface. The reversible redox reaction of the adsorbed P_glivec is pH dependent and occurs with the transfer of 2 electrons and 2 protons. The surface standard potential and the rate constant of the heterogeneous electrochemical reaction were calculated using cyclic voltammetry to be E^θ′=+180 mV and k=15.5 s^?1, respectively. The total surface concentration of adsorbed P_glivec is 2.5×10^?12 mol cm^?2. The analytical determination of glivec was carried out by differential pulse voltammetric measurement of the anodic peak current corresponding to either the oxidation peak of glivec or the oxidation peak of P_glivec adsorbed on the GCE surface. The limits of detection of glivec and adsorbed P_glivec based on three times the noise level are 3.3×10^?8 M and 2.9×10^?10 M, respectively.     

Two silver(I) complexes with bis(benzimidazole)‐2‐oxopropane ligands: Syntheses,crystal structures and DNA binding studies

Two Ag(I) complexes, [Ag₂(bobb)₂]⋅(NO₃)₂ ( 1 ) and [Ag₂(crotonate)₂(aobb)]_n ( 2 ) (bobb =1,3‐bis(1‐benzylbenzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐oxapropane; aobb =1,3‐bis(1‐allylbenzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐oxopropane), have been synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, electrical conductivities, infrared and UV–visible spectral measurements and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Complex 1 is binuclear and three‐coordinated by two N atoms from two bobb ligands, while complex 2 is a unique metal organic compound with diamond‐like multinuclear Ag centers with each Ag bridged by two aobb ligands and two crotonate ions to form one‐dimensional single polymer chain structures and extended into two‐dimensional frameworks through π–π and intermolecular C─H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds. The adjacent Ag(I) centers are bridged by allyl from aobb which is not only a σ‐bonding ligand, but also a π‐acid ligand. The DNA binding modes of complexes 1 and 2 were investigated using electronic absorption titration, fluorescence spectra and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that the two complexes bind to DNA via an intercalative mode, and their binding affinity for DNA follows the order 2  >  1 . This is due to the chelating effects which can enhance the planar functionality of the metal complexes.

Electrochemical Study of the Interaction of the Alkylating Agent Busulfan with Double Strand DNA

Damage of salmon sperm double strand ss dsDNA in solution or immobilized on screen‐printed carbon electrode (SPCE) induced by incubation of DNA with the antineoplastic alkylating agent busulfan (BUS) at various conditions was detected for the first time by simple electrochemical methods. Chemical changes in DNA bases can be detected through the altered electroactivity of the DNA. Electrochemical voltammetric sensing of damage caused by BUS to dsDNA in solution was monitored by the appearance of peaks diagnostic of the oxidation of guanine and adenine. Moreover, crystal violet, which interacts with the DNA immobilized on SPCEs, was used as an effective electroactive indicator, in combination with cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry techniques to monitor the cross‐links or damage to DNA. The interaction between BUS and DNA were determined by the changes in the voltammetric peak of crystal violet. The effects of various conditions upon the crystal violet signal were investigated.
