Background: In this era of science, cancer is a black dot on the face of humankind. Consequently, the search of promising anticancer agents continues. Aims: Here we designed and synthesized new N-substituted rhodanines (RD1-7), evaluated their multispectroscopic interaction with calf thymus DNA, in silico and anticancer studies against MDA-MB-231cancer cell line. Methods: By MTT assay rhodanine RD1 was found to be the most potent with IC50 value of 72.61 μM. In addition, DNA binding studies (UV-vis and fluorescence) revealed strong binding affinity of RD1-7 with DNA (Kb in the range of 1.5-7.4 × 105 M-1). Moreover, molecular docking study, experimental DNA binding and anticancer studies are all well agreed to each other. Results: It was observed that H-bonding and hydrophobic attractions were responsible for stability of DNAcompound adducts. Besides, the reported rhodanines (RD1-7) were found as minor groove binders of DNA. Concisely, RD1-7 indicated promising pharmacological properties and hence, shows auspicious future for the development of novel anticancer agents. Conclusion: The reported rhodanines showed excellent anticancer properties. Therefore, the described rhodanines may be used as potential anticancer agents in the future.

AbstractThe interaction of 6-methoxyflavanone (6MF, 6-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one) with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) was investigated by absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry in the presence and absence of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) acting as capping agent. Molecular modelling was used to optimise the study of 6MF-β-CD and 6MF-DNA interactions. Enhancement in the fluorescence intensity of 6MF was observed due to the formation of 1 : 1 complex with β-CD. In the presence and absence of DNA, 6MF showed different characteristics such as hyperchromic effect, red shift of absorption spectra and fluorescence quenching of 6MF due to binding between 6MF and ctDNA. The nature of the binding group was found to be different for the 6MF-ctDNA and 6MF-ctDNA-β-CD systems. An increase in fluorescence intensity was observed for the 6MF-ctDNA system while varying the concentration of β-CD due to encapsulation of a part of 6MF in cyclodextrin. The results are compatible with the possibility of the interaction of dihydrobenzopyran-4-one moiety of 6MF with ctDNA as well as with β-CD. Cyclic voltammetric studies confirmed the binding interaction between 6MF and ctDNA in the absence and presence of β-CD and molecular modelling explains the site of the interaction of 6MF with cyclodextrin and ctDNA.

This paper discusses the binding of a laser dye, Coumarin 314 with β-cyclodextrin, studied mainly by UV-visible spectroscopy, 2D rotating-frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY), steady-state spectroscopy and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The role of β-cyclodextrin on the binding of Coumarin 314 with calf thymus DNA was investigated. Coumarin 314 shows a hyperchromic shift of absorption and a quenching of fluorescence due to binding with β-cyclodextrin. The fluorescence quenching is non-linear and the reason for the non-linearity is discussed. The unusual fluorescence quenching on Coumarin 314–β-cyclodextrin binding is rationalised from the effect of acidity on absorption, fluorescence, and molecular modelling studies. Additional proof for the mode of binding is given by 2D ROESY. The capped and exposed portions of the Coumarin 314 molecule in the Coumarin 314–β-cyclodextrin complex when binding with calf thymus DNA were visualised based on spectral and molecular modelling studies.
