Oxidative Damage by Ruthenium Complexes Containing the Dipyridophenazine Ligand or Its Derivatives:  A Focus on Intercalation

Abstract: Interactions with DNA by a family of ruthenium(II) complexes bearing the dppz (dppz = dipyridophenazine) ligand or its derivatives have been examined. The complexes include Ru(bpy)(2)(dppx)(2+) (dppx = 7,8-dimethyldipyridophenazine), Ru(bpy)(2)(dpq)(2+) (dpq = dipyridoquinoxaline), and Ru(bpy)(2)(dpqC)(2+) (dpqC = dipyrido-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrophenazine). Their ground and excited state oxidation/reduction potentials have been determined using cyclic voltammetry and fluorescence spectroscopy. An intercalative bind… Show more

“…This chemistry was first developed to probe long-range electron transfer in proteins (38). Examining DNA CT using the flash͞quench technique has been particularly advantageous in that the methodology permits both spectroscopic studies to monitor formation of DNA radicals on a short time scale (16,(39)(40)(41) and biochemical analysis to determine the yield of oxidative damage occurring on a longer time scale (39)(40)(41)(42)(43). The flash͞quench experiment for DNA typically is carried out with dipyridophenazine (dppz) complexes of Ru(II), complexes that bind avidly to DNA by intercalation (44 (54).…”

“…λ 2 sinh (λN ) (22) where λ = (k r /k) 1/2 = 2 −1/2 α if expressed in the parameters used in our study. If λ is small, then sinh(λ) ≈ λ and eq 22 turns directly into eq 15a, which describes the same physical situation.…”

“…[7] The pharmacological activity has also been found to be highly dependent on the nature of the metal ion and the donor sequence of the ligands as different ligands exhibit different biological properties. [8] There is a great deal of interest in the synthesis and characterization of transition metal complexes of heterocyclic compounds, in particular imidazole derivatives. The heterocyclic moiety benzimidazole plays an important role both in chemical and biological contexts, because it is structurally isostere of naturally occurring nucleotides; hence, it has been extensively utilized as a drug scaffold in the medicinal chemistry.…”
