Electrochemical Determination of the Effect of Caffeic Acid onto the Interaction between Idarubicin and DNA by Single‐use Disposable Electrodes

Now it is well known, antioxidant may affect the interaction of anticancer drugs and DNA. This study aims to investigate the interaction between Idarubicin and DNA and the effect of caffeic acid on this interaction. Disposable, inexpensive, easy handle electrodes were used in this study to investigate the interaction of idarubicin and DNA electrochemically. Idarubicin (IDR) is an anthracyline antitumor antibiotic, which used against one or more types of leukemia. Electrochemical behaviour of IDR was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry. The interaction between anticancer drug, IDR and calf thymus double‐stranded DNA (ctdsDNA) was investigated by using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique in the absence and presence of caffeic acid.
