Electrochemical Study on the Interaction Betwwen Neutral Red and DNA

A voltammetric study of the interaction of neutral Red(NR) with DNA at a gold electrode in a phosphate buffer solution is described. After adding DNA in an NR solution, the reduction peak current of NR decreases. The binding mechahisms of NR to DNA in different pH ranges are different. The reduction peak potential of NR in a pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution in the presence of DNA shifts positively, indicating that the binding of NR to DNA is intercalation action, but at pH=6.0 the reduction peak potential of NR shifts negatively, indicating that the binding of NR to DNA is electrostatic action. The formed complexes are DNA-NR when [NR]/[DNA]<0.18 and DNA-3NR when [NR]/[DNA]>0.35, respectively.

Highly selective probe of a copper(II) complex based on a coumarin derivative for hydrogen sulfide detection

Abstract

A fluorescent probe 1 containing copper(II) had been designed and synthesized based on a coumarin derivative. The molecular structure of probe 1 was characterized by ¹H NMR, HRMS, IR, and elemental analysis. The interactions of 1 with biologically important anions and amino acid were determined by UV–Vis, fluorescence, and HRMS titration experiments. Results indicated that probe 1 showed the highest binding ability for HS^? among studied anions (AcO^?, H₂PO₄^?, F^?, Cl^?, Br^?, and I^?) and cysteine in pure dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and HEPES buffer solution. As we expected, the response of UV–Vis spectra in aqueous solution was stronger than that of pure DMSO solvent. In addition, the binding ability for HS^? was not hindered by the existence of other anions. HRMS titration experiment showed that the interacted mechanism was that the copper(II) ion in 1 was captured by HS^? and then free ligand released. Furthermore, the detection limit of probe 1 with HS^? was carried out through UV–Vis titration showing 1 to be highly sensitive for HS^?.

Investigation of DNA Binding Interaction of Newly Synthesized Nickel(II) and Palladium(II) Complexes Containing Ferrocenyl Schiff Base Ligand

New complexes of nickel(II) and palladium(II) were synthesized using the ferrocenyl imine ligand, which was formed by the condensation of 2‐aminothiophenol and acetylferrocene. This bidentate Schiff base ligand was coordinated to the metal ions through the NS donor atoms. Monomeric complexes of nickel(II) and palladium(II) were synthesized by the reactions of the Schiff base ligand with nickel(II) and palladium(II) chloride in a 2:1 M ratio. In these complexes, the thiol group was deprotonated and coordinated to the metals. The molar conductivity values of the complexes in DMSO showed the presence of non‐electrolyte species. The fluorescence characteristics of the Schiff base ligand and its complexes were studied in DMSO. The synthesized complexes were characterized by FT‐IR, ¹H NMR, UV–vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and conductometry. Furthermore, the binding interactions of the complexes with DNA were investigated by electronic absorption spectroscopy, and the intrinsic binding constant (K _b) was calculated. Moreover, viscosity and melting temperature (T _m) were investigated in order to further explore the nature of interactions between the complexes and DNA.     

Inducement and stabilization of G-quadruplex DNA by a thiophene-containing dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex

G-quadruplex structures are attractive targets for the development of anticancer drugs, as their formation in human telomere could impair telomerase activity, thus inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. In this work, a thiophene-containing dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex, [Ru₂(bpy)₄(H₂bipt)]⁴⁺ {bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, H₂bipt = 2,5-bis[1,10]phenanthrolin[4,5-f]-(imidazol-2-yl)thiophene}, was prepared and the interaction between the complex and human telomeric DNA oligomers 5′-G₃(T₂AG₃)₃-3′ (HTG21) has been investigated by UV-Vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) melting assay, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) stop assay, fluorescent intercalator displacement (FID) titrations, Job plot and color reaction studies. The results indicate that the complex can well induce and stabilize the formation of antiparallel G-quadruplex of telomeric DNA in the presence or absence of metal cations, and the ΔT_m value of the G-quadruplex DNA treated with the complex was obtained to be 12.8 °C even at levels of 50-fold molar of duplex DNA (calf-thymus DNA), suggesting that the complex exhibits higher G-quadruplex DNA selectivity over duplex DNA. The complex shows high interaction ability with G-quadruplex DNA at (1.17 ± 0.12) × 10⁷ M^?1 binding affinity using a 2:1 [complex]/[quadruplex] binding mode ratio. A novel visual method has been developed here for making a distinction between G-quadruplex DNA and duplex DNA by our ruthenium complex binding hemin to form the hemin-G-quadruplex DNAzyme.

Cytotoxic copper(II) complex of tripyridoquinoxaline with DNA hydrolase activity

A monomeric copper(II) complex, [Cu(tpq)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, (tpq = tripyridoquinoxaline), has been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. This complex has been found to bind DNA intercalatively and the DNA binding constant, K_b, for this complex has been determined from absorption measurements and was found to be (5.7 ± 0.3) × 10³ M⁻¹. This complex successfully promotes hydrolytic cleavage of plasmid DNA, producing single and double DNA strand breaks in the absence of any added cofactor. The amount of conversion of the supercoiled form of plasmid to the nicked circular form depends on the concentration of the copper complex as well as the duration of the incubation of the complex with DNA. The rate of conversion of SC to NC has been determined to be 2.65 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ at pH 7.2 in the presence of 80 μM of the complex. This complex has also been shown to be cytotoxic towards A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. This complex has been shown to bring about apoptosis of the cancerous A549 cell line.     

Coordination behavior of 3,4-bis(2-pyridylmethylthio)toluene with copper(II) ions: Synthesis,structural characterization and reactivity,and DNA binding study of the dinuclear copper(II) complex

On reaction of different copper(II) salts with 3,4-bis(2-pyridylmethylthio)toluene (L) having neutral tetradentate NSSN donor set in different chemical environments, two mononuclear copper(II), one dinuclear copper(I) and one dinuclear copper(II) complexes, formulated as [Cu^II(L)(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ (1), [Cu^II(pic)₂] (2), [Cu^I₂(L)₂](ClO₄)₂ (3) and [Cu^II₂(L)₂Cl₂](ClO₄)₂ (4), respectively, were isolated in pure form [where pic = picolinate]. All the complexes were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The product of the reactions are dependent on the counter anion of copper(II) salts used as reactant and on the reaction medium. Complexes 1 and 4 were obtained with nitrate and perchlorate copper(II) salts, respectively. On the other hand, C–S bond cleavage was observed in the reaction of L with copper(II) chloride to form in situ picolinic acid and complex 2. Dinuclear complexes 3 and 4 were separated out when copper(II) perchlorate was allowed to react with L in methanol and in acetonitrile, respectively, under aerobic condition. The X-ray diffraction analysis of the dinuclear complex 3 shows a highly distorted tetrahedral geometry about each copper ion. Complex 4 is converted to 3 in acetonitrile in presence of catechol. The spectral study of complex 4 with calf thymus DNA is indicative of a groove binding mode interaction.

Self-activated DNA cleavage of a water-soluble mononuclear Cu(II) complex with polyquinolinyl ligand

The synthesis and characterization of a water-soluble mononuclear Cu(II) complex, [CuLCl₂]·2CH₃CH₂OH, where L = bis(2-quinolinyl methyl)benzyl-amine has been reported. L is a tridentate polyquinolinyl ligand, coordinated to Cu(II) via NNN donors. The central copper ion of 1 has N₃Cl₂ donor set in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The dimer existing in the solid state resulted from hydrogen bonds and π–π accumulation between two mononuclear units. The interaction of 1 with CT-DNA has been explored by absorption and emission titration methods, revealing partial intercalation between 1 and CT-DNA. Moreover, 1 could make pBR322 plasmid DNA cleaved by a self-activated oxidative process; hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen may be the main reactive oxygen species species in the process. Complex 1 may quench the intrinsic fluorescence of bovine serum albumin in a static quenching process, which has been investigated by UV–visible and fluorescence spectroscopic methods. 1 also demonstrates potent cytotoxity against Hela cells with IC₅₀ value of 2.84 μM, which shows it to be a potential candidate as an anticancer metal-based drug.

An unexpected fluorescent probe for G-quadruplex DNA based on a nitro-substituted ruthenium (II) complex

The detection of G-quadruplex is of major interest. Nitro-substituted ruthenium (II) complexes have attracted much attention due to fluorescent sensitivity to environment change. We report here a new nitro-substituted ruthenium (II) complex, [Ru (phen)₂(hnoip)]²⁺ ( 1) (hnoip = 2-(2-hydroxyl-5-nitrophenyl)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10-phenanthroline]), which displays distinct fluorescent properties in aqueous solution and non-aqueous solvents. This complex exhibits large fluorescence enhancement after binding with G-quadruplex DNA, and displays good fluorescent selectivity over other DNAs. The limit of detection is 6 nm for 22AG in Na⁺ and 43 nm for 22AG in K⁺, respectively. The results demonstrated that nitro-substituted ruthenium (II) complexes can be utilized to design as G-quadruplex fluorescent probes by protection of the nitro group on the complex from water.

Synthesis and characterization of Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes with a new tetraazamacrocyclic Schiff base ligand containing a piperazine moiety: X-ray crystal structure determination of the Co(II) complex

Two macrocyclic Schiff base ligands, L¹ [1+1] and L² [2+2], have been obtained in a one-pot cyclocondensation of 1,4-bis(2-formylphenyl)piperazine and 1,3-diaminopropane. Unfortunately, because of the low solubility of both ligands, their separation was unsuccessful.
