Three novel asymmetric ruthenium(ii) complexes, [Ru(bpy)2(PAIDH)]2+ 1, [Ru(phen)2(PAIDH)]2+ 2, and [Ru(dmp)2(PAIDH)]2+ 3 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, PAIDH = 2-pyridyl-1H-anthra[1,2-d]imidazole-6,11-dione), have been synthesized and characterized. The structure of the deprotonated complex [Ru(dmp)2(PAID)]+ 4 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, and the anthraquinone moiety is approximately coplanar with the imidazole ring. The DNA binding properities of complexes 1, 2, and 3 to calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were investigated. Spectroscopic studies and viscosity experiments suggest that the RuII complexes intercalate into DNA base pairs by the extended anthraquinone unit, and the ancillary ligands have significant effects on the spectroscopic properties and DNA binding behaviour of the RuII complexes.

DNA binding studies of selected heterocyclic compounds belonging to the class of quinolinones, substituted quinolinones and thiones were carried out using ct-DNA. The binding nature of the compounds with DNA analyzed using UV-spectroscopy revealed the compounds to be DNA intercalators demonstrating the binding nature of compounds with DNA base pairs. This study is aimed at establishing a facile UV spectroscopic technique to arrive at the binding mode of DNA to ligands.

In this article we have presented the synthesis, chemical characterisation (by NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction), electrochemistry, and DNA binding studies (with cyclic voltammetry, viscometry, and UV-vis spectroscopy) of six new ferrocene incorporated selenoureas. All the six compounds interact electrostatically with DNA which was evident by a negative shift in the cyclic voltammetry peak potential of the drug–DNA adduct relative to the free drug. The drug–DNA binding constant was calculated by a decrease in peak current after the addition of DNA to the free drug. We have also reported binding site sizes and diffusion coefficients of the synthesised compounds.

A tripod ligand tris(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine (Mentb) and its nickel(II) picrate (pic) complex, with composition [Ni(Mentb)(DMF)(H2O)](pic)2, have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductivities, IR spectra, and UV/Vis measurements. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the Ni atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry. In addition, the DNA-binding properties of the ligand Mentb and its Ni(II) complex have been investigated by electronic absorption, fluorescence and viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that the ligand and its Ni(II) complex bind to DNA via an intercalation binding mode, and their binding affinity to DNA follows the order of complex>ligand.

The preparation of [Pt(tmdz)Cl2] (tmdz = 5,5,7-trimethyl-1,4-diazacycloheptane) is described. The crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods and refined to an R value of 0·048 (764F). The crystals are triclinic, space group P -1, a 8·023(2), b 10·874(4), c 14·207(3) Å, α 95·34(3), β 94·96(2), γ 94·97(3)°. N.m.r. studies and molecular mechanics methods show that only one diastereomer of the complex—that observed in the crystal structure—is energetically accessible. In total DNA binding studies, [Pt(tmdz)Cl2] binds less effectively and at a lower rate than cisplatin. The complex reacts with dG and d(GpG) to form a variety of isomeric products, as indicated by h.p.l.c. analysis.

Mono-modified β-cyclodextrins ligands, L1 (6-mono-(N-aminoethyl) amino-β-cyclodextrin) and L2 (6-mono-(N-(pyridin-2-yl) ethylamino)-β-cyclodextrin), and their platinum (II) complexes, 1 ([Pt (L1)Cl2]·8H2O) and 2 ([Pt (L2)Cl2]·4H2O), were successfully synthesized. As revealed by UV-Vis and CD spectroscopic studies, both complexes mainly adopt a non-intercalative mode with DNA. The interaction between platinum complex 1 and DNA was obviously observed in agarose Gel Electrophoresis. Meanwhile, two ligands L1, L2 and platinum complex 2 have no obvious interaction with DNA. The difference interaction between complexes 1, 2 and DNA should be ascribed to their different structures.
