“…Several reports suggest that the possible reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) and followed by the redox cycling of the metal ion gives rise to the formation of reactive oxygen species, particularly production of either hydroxyl radical or singlet oxygen species in this process, are responsible for the DNA cleavage activity. 37,38,49,62 Similarly, in our experiment, when the hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen species were scavenged by potassium iodide and sodium azide, respectively, the nucleolytic activity of the peroxide treated complex in the plasmid DNA was completely abolished (Figure 10a). Superoxide radicals have generally a shorter half-life.…”

“…Finally, agarose gel electrophoresis with pUC19 plasmid DNA (500 ng) was performed (Figure 10) in the presence of different radical scavengers, sodium azide, potassium iodide, and catalase to confirm the production of reactive oxygen species in the reaction between Cu(II) complex (417 µM) and H 2 O 2 (550 µM). Sodium azide is a well-known singlet oxygen scavenger; potassium iodide can eliminate hydroxyl radicals, 49 and catalase can neutralize reactive hydrogen peroxide efficiently. As seen in Figure 10a, the reduced Cu(II) complex mediated plasmid DNA cleavages were completely protected in the presence of either of the two scavenging agents, KI and NaN 3 (compare the RF1 band intensities in lanes 4 and 5 with respect to lane 3).…”

“…On the other hand, distasmycin at the same concentration and after irradiation at 365 nm for 1 h, did not show any significant cleavage of ccc-DNA. We further studied the reactive species that might be involved in the photocleavage by Ib using various reported radical scavengers 20 (Fig. 2b).…”

“…Recently, biological studies of oxime ligands and metal complexes gained importance. In order to examine the features of DNA cleaving and combining, many studies have been conducted about characterization and developing new compounds modified with organic and inorganic subtances for 30 years (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”
