四氮大环-金属配合物与DNA作用的电化学及谱学研究

Mononuclear copper（Ⅱ）, nickel（Ⅱ） and cobalt（Ⅲ） tetracoordinate macrocyclic complexes were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. The crystal structure of the three compounds were determined by X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical experimental results indicate that the three complexes could interact with DNA mainly by electrostatic interaction. The interaction of tetracoordinate macrocyclic cobalt（Ⅲ） complex with DNA was studied by cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis spectroscopy. The experimental results reveal that tetracoordinate macrocyc- lic cobalt（Ⅲ） complex could interact with DNA by electrostatic interaction to form a 1 ： 1 DNA association complex with a binding constant of 7.50 ×10^3 L·mol^-1.

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes of 14-membered hexaazamacrocycles: synthesis and characterization

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes containing 5,12-di(4-bromophenyl)-7,14-dimethyl-1,2,4,8,9,11-hexaazacyclotetradeca-7,14-diene-3,10-dione (H₂L¹) and 5,12-diphenyl-7,14-dimethyl-1,2,4,8,9,11-hexaazacyclotetradeca-7,14-diene-3,10-dione (H₂L²) have been synthesized. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, MALDI TOF-MS spectrometry, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The crystal structures of two compounds, [Cu₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄]_n and [NiL²], were determined by X-ray powder diffraction. In the polymeric [Cu₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄]_n, the Cu₂Cl₄ units and H₂L¹ molecules are situated on inversion centers. Each Cu(II) has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment formed by N and O from H₂L¹ [Cu–N 2.340(14)?Å, Cu–O 1.952(11)?Å], two bridging chlorides [Cu–Cl 2.332(5), 2.279(5)?Å] and one terminal chloride [Cu–Cl 2.320(6)?Å]. In the [NiL²] complex, the Ni(II) situated on inversion center has a distorted square-planar coordination environment formed by four nitrogens from L² [Ni–N 1.860(11), 1.900(11)?Å].     

Copper(II) complexes of acylhydrazones: synthesis,characterization and DNA interaction

Two new acylhydrazone copper(II) complexes of 4‐hydroxy‐N′‐[(1E)‐1‐(4‐methylphenyl)ethylidene]benzohydrazide (HL¹) and 4 ethyl [4‐({(2E)‐2‐[1‐(4‐methylphenyl)ethylidene]hydrazinyl}carbonyl)phenoxy]acetate (HL²) have been synthesized and characterized. The structures of both acylhydrazone and copper(II) complexes were identified by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, UV–visible electronic absorption spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements, TGA and powder X‐ray diffraction. DNA binding and DNA cleavage activities of the synthesized copper complexes were examined by using UV‐visible titration and agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively. The effect of complex concentration on the DNA cleavage reactions in the absence and presence of H₂O₂ was also investigated. The results indicate that all the complexes bind slightly to calf thymus DNA and cleavage pBR322 DNA. The mechanistic studies demonstrate that a hydrogen peroxide‐derived species and singlet oxygen (¹O₂) are the active oxidative species for DNA cleavage. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,DNA/BSA interaction and in vitro antitumor activity of N-heterocycle Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes

Investigation of N-heterocycle transition metal complexes has led to the discovery of metal-based antitumor agents. Herein, two binuclear complexes, [Cu(p-4-bmb)(Ac)₂]₂ (1) and [Co(p-4-bmp)Cl₂]₂ (2), were prepared and characterized. The interactions of 1 and 2 with calf thymus (CT)-DNA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were detected by absorbance and emission spectroscopy. The complexes bind to CT-DNA via an intercalative mode and show moderate affinity to BSA. Both complexes exhibited remarkable DNA cleavage activity. The MTT assay demonstrated that 1 exhibited higher cytotoxicity against three human alimentary system carcinoma cell lines compared to 2. Further, a cellular uptake assay demonstrated that 1 can accumulate in the nucleus and mitochondria of SMMC7721 cells to induce DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Fluorescence staining and flow cytometry analyses revealed that 1 can induce cell death by apoptosis. These findings should promote the development of benzimidazole-based transition metal complexes as novel chemotherapy agents with fewer side effects than conventional antitumor drugs.     

Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Fe(III) complexes containing a N2O2 donor ligand: Synthesis, characterization, DNA cleavage studies and crystal structure of [Cu(HL)Cl]

A polydentate ligand, H₂L “[1-(5-isopropyl-2-methyl phenoxy)-3-(N-2-hydroxy benzyl-N-((pyridine-2-yl)amino) propan-2-ol]”, containing a N₂O₂ donor moiety was synthesized by refluxing 2-((5-isopropyl-2-methylphenoxy)methyl)oxirane and HBPA (N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine). This synthesized ligand was used for the preparation of complexes with different metal ions, viz. [Cu(HL)Cl] (1), [Ni(HL)Cl] (2), [Zn(HL)Cl] (3) and [Fe(HL)Cl₂] (4). The ligand and metal complexes were characterized by ¹H NMR, mass, ESI-MS, elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The crystal structure for one of the complexes, [Cu(HL)Cl], was solved from the X-ray crystallography data. The structure of the complex, based on the trigonality index tau, suggests an intermediate geometry between square pyramidal (sp) and trigonal bipyramidal (tb). Both the ligand and the metal complexes show oxidative cleavage of plasmid DNA (pBR322) without addition of any exogenous agent, even at a concentration of 5 μM. The binding constants for these compounds were found to be in the range 5.33-0.065 × 10⁵ M⁻¹.

(E)-2-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)isoindoline-1,3-dione (Hbid) was prepared by condensation of N-aminophthalimide and salicylaldehyde and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR, and mass spectral studies. Mononuclear complexes [(phen)Cu^II(μ-Hbid)₂H₂O] (1), [(phen)Co^II(Cl)₂(μ-Hbid)]6H₂O (2) (phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline) and binuclear complexes [Cu^II(μ-Hbid)]₂ (3), and [Co^II(μ-Hbid)]₂ (4) with Hbid were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, molar conductance, and thermogravimetric (TG) techniques. DNA-binding properties of 1–4 were investigated by UV spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that 1 and 2 bind to DNA by partial intercalation, whereas 3 and 4 find different groove-binding sites. The cleavage of these complexes with super coiled pUC19 has been studied using gel electrophoresis; all the complexes displayed chemical nuclease activity in the absence and presence of H₂O₂ via an oxidative mechanism. Complexes 1–4 inhibit the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Structures of Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Complexes of 14-Membered Macrocyclic Quadridentate Ligands

The structures of 41 Ni(II) and 17 Cu(II) complexes of macrocyclic quadridentate ligands have been analyzed, and are discussed about bond lengths, bond angles, conformations, and configurations, upon which many conclusions are formed. The inter- or intra-molecular hydrogen bonds exist among ligands and hydrates in many compounds and play an important role in the structures. There are exhibited two distinct peaks on the histogram of the average Ni-N distances, corresponding to four coordination and six coordination; these average Ni-N distances are 1.95(4) Å and 2.10(5) Å, respectively. The most probable structures of Ni(II) macrocyclic compounds have coordination number six for the metal ion, chair forms for six-membered rings, planar structure for the metal ion and the four donor atoms of the quadridentate ligand and an inversion center at the central metal ion.     

Bioactive Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) Complexes Containing a Tridentate Sulfathiazole-Based (ONN) Schiff Base

New Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized with the Schiff base ligand obtained by the condensation of sulfathiazole with salicylaldehyde. Their characterization was performed by elemental analysis, molar conductance, spectroscopic techniques (IR, diffuse reflectance and UV–Vis–NIR), magnetic moments, thermal analysis, and calorimetry (thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry), while their morphological and crystal systems were explained on the basis of powder X-ray diffraction results. The IR data indicated that the Schiff base ligand is tridentate coordinated to the metallic ion with two N atoms from azomethine group and thiazole ring and one O atom from phenolic group. The composition of the complexes was found to be of the [ML₂]∙nH₂O (M = Co, n = 1.5 (1); M = Ni, n = 1 (2); M = Cu, n = 4.5 (3)) type, having an octahedral geometry for the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes and a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry for the Cu(II) complex. The presence of lattice water molecules was confirmed by thermal analysis. XRD analysis evidenced the polycrystalline nature of the powders, with a monoclinic structure. The unit cell volume of the complexes was found to increase in the order of (2) < (1) < (3). SEM evidenced hard agglomerates with micrometric-range sizes for all the investigated samples (ligand and complexes). EDS analysis showed that the N:S and N:M atomic ratios were close to the theoretical ones (1.5 and 6.0, respectively). The geometric and electronic structures of the Schiff base ligand 4-((2-hydroxybenzylidene) amino)-N-(thiazol-2-yl) benzenesulfonamide (HL) was computationally investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) method. The predictive molecular properties of the chemical reactivity of the HL and Cu(II) complex were determined by a DFT calculation. The Schiff base and its metal complexes were tested against some bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis). The results indicated that the antibacterial activity of all metal complexes is better than that of the Schiff base.

Synthesis and Magnetic Studies of Copper (II)‐Manganese (II) Heterobinuclear Complexes with an Oxamido Bridge

Four new copper (II)‐manganese (II) heterobinuclear complexes bridged byN, N'‐bis[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl)]oxamido dianion (dmoxæ) and end‐capped with 1, 10‐phenanthroline (phen), 5‐methyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline (Mephen), diaminoethane (en) or 1,3‐di‐aminopropane (pn). respectively, namely, [Cu(dmoxae)MnL₂] (CIO₄)₂ (L=phen, Mephen, en, pn), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, electronic spectral studies, and molar conductivity measurements. The electronic reflectance spectrum indicates the presence of spin exchange‐coupling interaction between bridged copper(II) and manganese (II) ions. The cryomagnetic measurements (4.2‐300 K) of [Cu(dmoxae)Mn(phen)₂](CIO₄)₂ (1) and [Cu(dmoxae)Mn(Mephen)₂](CIO₄)₂(2) complexes demonstrated an antiferromagnetic interaction between the adjacent manganese(II) and copper (II) ions through the oxamido‐bridge within each molecule. On the basis of spin Hamiltonian, H= ‐ 2JS₁. S₂. the magnetic analysis was carried out for the two complexes and the spin‐coupling constant (J) was evaluated as ?35.9 cm^?1 for 1 and ‐ 32.6 cm^?1 for 2. The influence of methyl substitutions in the amine groups of the bridging ligand on magnetic interactions between the metal ions of this kind of complexes is also discussed.     

Studies of copper (Ⅱ) complexes as catalysts for the hydrolysis of DNA

Hydrolysis of DNA is an important enzymatic reaction , but it is exceedingly difficult to mimic in the laboratory because of the stability of hydrolysis of DNA. In this paper, the cleavage activity of complexes formed between Cu(Ⅱ) and four different amino acid or amino acid methyl ester on DNA is studied by gel elec-trophoresis. It is found that DNA could be cleaved by Cu(Ⅱ)-L-His and Cu(Ⅱ)-L-His methyl ester complexes and the efficiency of cleavage is largely dependent on the metal ion-to-ligand ratio. Further experiments show that the cleavage of DNA mediated by Cu(Ⅱ)-L-His complexes occurs via a hydrolytic mechanism and the active chemical species that affects DNA cleavage is proposed to be MI2H and ML2H22 .     

Efficient Cleavage of DNA by the Novel Copper (II) Complex Derived From 2,2'-Pyridil Ligand

Due to the importance of oxidative degradation of nucleic acids in mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and aging, a large number of chemical and biological investigations have been recently published1. Artificial metallonucleases have been proven to be efficient tools for the footprinting and sequence-specific targeting of nucleic acids1,2. They usually require high concentrations of the complex and of an external reducing agent (such as dithiothreitol, DTT) to form a reactive species in situ, the f…

Synthesis,Electronic and IR Spectral Studies of Some Polymeric Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II) Azido Complexes with Hydrazine

A series of polymeric cobalt(II), nickel(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) azido complexes with hydrazine of the type [M(N₂H₄)(H₂O)(N₃)Cl]_n, [M(N₂H₄)(N₃)₂]_n and [M(N₂H₄)₂(N₃)₂]_n have been prepared. These were characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, electronic and IR spectra. The complexes are highly insoluble in polar and non polar solvents. All the complexes decompose with explosion at different temperatures between 100°C to 200°C. The magnetic moment and electronic spectral data for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes suggest that the complexes have octahedral structure. The ligand-field parameters (10 Dq, B, β, β° and LFSE) have also been calculated for all Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes which indicate a significant covalent character of M-L bonds. The IR spectra of the complexes show that the azide group and hydrazine molecule both act as bidentate bridging ligands in [M(N₂H₄)(H₂O)(N₃)Cl]_n and [M(N₂H₄)(N₃)₂]_n type complexes but the azide group is terminally bonded to metal in all [M(N₂H₄)₂(N₃)₂]_n type complexes.
