DNA/Protein Binding, Molecular Docking, and in Vitro Anticancer Activity of Some Thioether-Dipyrrinato Complexes

Abstract: Syntheses and characterizations of the arene ruthenium [(η(6)-C6H6)RuCl(4-mtdpm)] (1), [(η(6)-p-MeC6H4Pr(i))RuCl(4-mtdpm)] (2), and structurally analogous rhodium/iridium complexes [(η(5)-C5Me5)RhCl(4-mtdpm)] (3) and [(η(5)-C5Me5)IrCl(4-mtdpm)] (4) [4-mtdpm = 5-(4-methylthiophenyl)dipyrromethene] have been reported. Their identities have been established by satisfactory elemental analyses, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), FT-IR, NMR ((1)H, (13)C), UV/vis, emission spectral, and electrochemic… Show more

“…Thus, the observed more negative FEB values suggest an effective binding affinity, which correlates well with the experimental DNA binding results. The more negative relative binding energy of complex 2 indicates its higher DNA binding affinity than the other complexes, because 2 shows strong hydrophobic interactions with right‐handed DNA . Thus, we can conclude that there is a mutual complement between spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking modelling, which substantiates our experimental results, and provides further evidence of intercalative binding.…”

“…Molecular visualization of the docked complexes was performed on the Molegro virtual viewer platform. The default parameters were used for the docking calculation with correlation type shape only, FFT mode at 3D level, grid dimension of 6 with receptor range 180 and ligand range 180 with twist range 360 and distance range 40 32 …”

“…The hypochromic shifts in the electronic spectra indicate intercalation of the complexes in CT‐DNA . The isosbestic points in the titration curve (at 375 nm for 1 and at 280 and 390 nm for 2 ) indicate the presence of more than two species in the medium …”
