DNA Interaction Studies and In Vitro Cytotoxicity of Newly Synthesized Steroidal Imidazolidinones

Abstract: New steroidal imidazolidinone derivatives (7-9) were synthesized after reacting steroidal thiosemicarbazones with oxalyl chloride in absolute ethanol. After characterization by spectral and analytical data, the interaction studies of compounds (7-9) with DNA were carried out by UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, molecular docking and gel electrophoresis. The compounds bind to DNA preferentially through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with Kb; 2.31 × 10(4) M(-1), 2.57 × 10(4) M(-1… Show more

“…The cytotoxic activity of the complexes can be due to the presence of N,N‐chelating ligands, which increase the solubility and introduce electrostatic interactions in the complexes . The electrostatic interaction of the complexes with DNA can induce deleterious effects on cell cycle and growth . Furthermore, the SI values were calculated by comparing the cytotoxic activity (IC 50 ) of the complexes against each cancer cell type with that of the normal cell line to evaluate the selective effect of the tested complexes against cancer cells .…”

“…Metronidazole and nitrofurantoin for instance are commercial imidazole-based antibiotics which target DNA and modify its structure. Many other imidazole and thiazolidinone based molecules reported in literature have shown strong affinity towards DNA thereby inhibiting its function [20][21][22]. Encouraged by these reports, we decided to probe DNA as possible target for the synthesized molecules.…”
