Interaction with biomacromolecules and antiproliferative activities of Mn(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) complexes of demethylcantharate and 2,2′-bipyridine

Synthesis and X-ray structure of a new zinc(ii) coordination polymer: interaction with DNA and double stranded RNA and elucidation of the molecular aspects of the binding to bovine serum albumin

“…24 However, despite the variety of biological activity of the zinc(II) [25][26][27] ion there are several reports for the utilization of the zinc complex. It is mainly utilized for the treatment of Alzheimer disease 28,29 and can act as radioprotective agents, 30 tumor photosensitizers 31 anticonvulsant, 32,33 antidiabetic insulin-mimetic, [34][35][36] anti-inammatory, 37,38 antiproliferative-antitumor 39 agents and show cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines. 40,41 Aer all the binding of zinc(II) complexes to nucleic acids has attracted much attention [42][43][44] owing to their possible applications as new cancer therapeutic agents.…”
