Cytotoxic, DNA binding, DNA cleavage and antibacterial studies of ruthenium–fluoroquinolone complexes

Abstract: Six new Ru(II) and Ru(III) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, LC-MS, electronic spectra, IR spectra and magnetic moment measurements. DNA-binding properties of Ru complexes have been studied by means of absorption spectrophotometry and viscosity measurements as well as their HS DNA cleavage properties by means of agarose gel electrophoresis. The experimental results show that all the complexes can bind to DNA via partial intercalative mode. The K b values of complexes were… Show more

“…The synthesis of transition metal complexes that exhibit antimicrobial and catalase activities has gained interest in recent years due to their potential for application as inorganic pharmaceuticals in clinical therapy and diagnostics. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] An increasing number of mono-and dinuclear Mn(III/II) complexes with catalase activity have been reported in the literature, most of them with Schiff base ligands. Following the first publication of the bipy and phen ligands of Mn(II) complexes by Fukuda and Sone in 1970, a large number of such compounds have been reported with different metals using mainly the same ligands with various anions.…”

“…All the experiments were carried out using an Ostwald capillary viscometer maintained at 25 ± 0.1°C. The flow time of the test compounds through the viscometer was determined in triplicate to get the average and accurate value (Patel et al 2014). The obtained data ploted as (η/η o ) 1/3 versus [compound]/[DNA], where η is the viscosity of Ct-DNA in the presence of compound and η o is the viscosity of Ct-DNA alone.…”

“…These peculiarities of ruthenium complexes can be partly explained by the ability of ruthenium to imitate iron in biological media, as well as by its rich coordination chemistry from the standpoint of available oxidative states, hydrolysis rates, and photochemistry.
