DNA Binding and Photocleavage Studies of Cobalt(III) Ethylenediamine Pyridine Complexes: [Co(en)2(py

Abstract: Two novel cobalt(III) pyridine complexes (1) [Co(en)2(py)2]3+ and (2) [Co(en)2(mepy)2]3+ (en=ethylenediamine, py=pyridine, and mepy=methylpyridine) have been synthesized and characterized. The interaction of these complexes with calf thymus DNA was investigated by absorption, emission spectroscopy, viscosity measurements, DNA melting, and DNA photocleavage. Results suggest that the two complexes bind to DNA via groove mode and complex 2 binds more strongly to CT DNA than complex 1. Moreover, these Co(III) comp… Show more

“…Many ligands derived from pyridine containing precursors are capable to couple with metals, the resulted complexes exhibit anti-tumor activities. 17 Among metals, Cu (II) and Co(III) complexes with pyridine derivatives efficiently interact with DNA 18 and can bind the two strands of DNA in an effective manner. Pyridine containing compounds and its metal complexes get much attention in the field of catalysis i.e.…”

“…(HBT = 11H,13H-4,5,9,10,12,14-hexaaza-benzo-[b]-triphenylene). Recently, our group has reported [21][22][23][24][25] binding and photocleavage studies of several mixed ligand complexes of ruthenium(II) and cobalt(III). We chose to concentrate our work on ruthenium(II) complexes of polypyridyls, which have interesting DNA-binding properties.…”
