The new ligand 2-(5-methyl-furan-2-yl)imidazo[4,5-f][1, 10]phenanthroline (MFIP) and its complexes [Ru(bpy)2(MFIP)]2+ 1 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) and [Ru(phen)2(MFIP)]2+ 2 (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The DNA binding properties of the two complexes were investigated by different spectrophotometric methods and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that both complexes bind to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) through intercalation, and both complexes can enantioselectively interact with CT-DNA. The Λ enantiomers of both complexes are slightly predominant for binding to CT-DNA over the Δ enantiomer. When irradiated at 400 nm, the two complexes promote the photocleavage of pBR322 DNA, and complex 2 cleaves DNA more effectively than complex 1 under comparable experimental conditions. Furthermore, mechanism studies reveal that singlet oxygen (1O2) plays a significant role in the photocleavage.

The new ligand MDPZ (MDPZ = 7,7′-methylenedioxyphenyldipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]-phenazine and its RuII complex [Ru(bpy)2(MDPZ)]2+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The DNA-binding properties of [Ru(bpy)2(MDPZ)]2+ were investigated by different spectrophotometric methods and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that the complex binds to CT-DNA through intercalation, and can enantioselectively interact with CT-DNA. Although the [Ru(bpy)2(MDPZ)]2+ complex does not show the characteristics of a molecular ‘light switch’ for DNA, [Ru(phen)2(MDPZ)]2+ may serve as a sensitive luminescent probe for DNA. Also, when irradiated at 365 nm, the complex promotes the photocleavage of pBR 322 DNA.

A ternary cationic Mn(II) complex with the tripodal ligand tris(2-(N-methyl) benzimidazylmethyl)amine (Mentb), salicylate and DMF as ligands and nitrate as counterion, [Mn(Mentb)(salicylate)DMF](NO3), was synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The crystal structure of the Mn(II) complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and revealed that the central Mn(II) atom is seven-coordinated. The DNA-binding properties of the Mn(II) complex were investigated by spectrophotometric methods and viscosity measurements, and the results suggest that the Mn(II) complex binds to DNA via an intercalation binding mode. Additionally, the complex exhibited potential hydroxyl radical scavenge properties in in vitro studies

A Schiff base ligand bis(N-salicylidene)-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine (H2L) and its lutetium(III) complex, with composition Lu2(L)2(NO3)2, were synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The crystal structure of the Lu(III) complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It reveals a centrosymmetric binuclear neutral entity where Lu(III) metal centers are bridged by two phenoxo oxygen atoms. The DNA-binding properties of the Lu(III) complex were investigated by spectrophotometric methods and viscosity measurements, and the results suggest that the Lu(III) complex binds to DNA via a groove binding mode. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of the Lu(III) complex was determined by the superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging methods in vitro, which indicate that it is a scavenger for OH· and O-· 2 radicals.
