Metallo-hydrazones having the formula [M(IBAH)2] (where, M = Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II); IBAH = p-Isopropylbenzaldehyde acetoylhydrazone) are prepared and confirmed on the basis of physico-chemical and spectral analyses. Conductivity data revealed that the complexes are non-electrolytes. Metal-DNA interactions are investigated using absorption spectrophotometry. Binding constant (Kb) data revealed that the copper complex interact DNA more strongly than other complexes. Antibacterial activity studies indicated higher activity for complexes than the metal free hydrazone ligand. The copper compound displays higher activity. DNA binding constants are correlated with the activity of metal compounds in this article.

It was demonstrated that styrylquinolizinium derivatives may be applied as photoswitchable DNA ligands. At lower ligand:DNA ratios (≤1.5), these compounds bind to duplex DNA by intercalation, with binding constants ranging from K b = 4.1 × 104 M to 2.6 × 105 M (four examples), as shown by photometric and fluorimetric titrations as well as by CD and LD spectroscopic analyses. Upon irradiation at 450 nm, the methoxy-substituted styrylquinolizinium derivatives form the corresponding syn head-to-tail cyclobutanes in a selective [2 + 2] photocycloaddition, as revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis of the reaction products. These photodimers bind to DNA only weakly by outside-edge association, but they release the intercalating monomers upon irradiation at 315 nm in the presence of DNA. As a result, it is possible to switch between these two ligands and likewise between two different binding modes by irradiation with different excitation wavelengths.
