Several metal diimine complexes have been reported to possess anticancer properties. To evaluate the anticancer properties of tetrahedral zinc(II) diimine complexes, six complexes were synthesized with the general formula M(N^N)Cl2 {where M = Zn, Pt and N^N = 2,2’-biquinoline (1), 2,2’-dipyridylketone (2) and 4-((pyridine-2-ylmethylene)amino)phenol (3)}. In general, the intrinsic DNA-binding constants for the different compounds exhibited values within close proximity; the changes in the viscosity of the CT-DNA upon binding to the compounds suggest intercalation-binding mode. Molecular docking study predicted that complexes containing the highly planar ligand 2,2’-biquinoline are capable to establish π–π interactions with nucleobases of the DNA; the other four complexes engaged in donor–acceptor interactions with DNA nucleobases. The six complexes and two reference drugs (cisplatin and sunitinib) were tested against two cancer cell lines (COLO 205 and RCC-PR) and one normal cell line (LLC-MK2), highlighting the better performance of the zinc(II) complexes compared to their platinum(II) analogues. Moreover, zinc(II) complexes have higher selectivity index values than the reference drugs, with promising anticancer properties.

Z-DNA is stabilized by various Z-DNA binding proteins (ZBPs) that play important roles in RNA editing, innate immune response, and viral infection. In this review, the structural and dynamics of various ZBPs complexed with Z-DNA are summarized to better understand the mechanisms by which ZBPs selectively recognize d(CG)-repeat DNA sequences in genomic DNA and efficiently convert them to left-handed Z-DNA to achieve their biological function. The intermolecular interaction of ZBPs with Z-DNA strands is mediated through a single continuous recognition surface which consists of an α3 helix and a β-hairpin. In the ZBP-Z-DNA complexes, three identical, conserved residues (N173, Y177, and W195 in the Zα domain of human ADAR1) play central roles in the interaction with Z-DNA. ZBPs convert a 6-base DNA pair to a Z-form helix via the B-Z transition mechanism in which the ZBP first binds to B-DNA and then shifts the equilibrium from B-DNA to Z-DNA, a conformation that is then selectively stabilized by the additional binding of a second ZBP molecule. During B-Z transition, ZBPs selectively recognize the alternating d(CG)n sequence and convert it to a Z-form helix in long genomic DNA through multiple sequence discrimination steps. In addition, the intermediate complex formed by ZBPs and B-DNA, which is modulated by varying conditions, determines the degree of B-Z transition.
