Synthesis and Characterization of the Ligand Based on Benzimidazole and Its Copper Complex: DNA Binding and Antioxidant Activity

Abstract: A new copper(II) complex with formulae of [Cu(buobb)2](pic)2, where buobb stands for the ligand of 1,3-bis(1- butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxopropane and pic represents 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity, IR, UV-Vis spectra measurements, and cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structure of the copper(II) complex has been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The coordination environment around each copper(II) atom can be described as a dist… Show more

“…To examine the intercalative binding skill of the surfactant copper(II) complexes, a competitive EB binding study to displace EB from its EB-DNA complex was performed with fluorescence experiments [28]. 3,8-Diamino-5-ethyl-6-phenylphenanthridinium bromide (EB) is a phenanthridine fluorescence dye and is a typical indicator of intercalation, forming soluble complexes with nucleic acids and emitting stringent fluorescence in the presence of tRNA due to the intercalation of the planar phenanthridinium ring between adjacent base pairs on the double helix.…”

“…EB emits intense fluorescence in the presence of DNA due to its strong intercalation between the DNA base pairs which prevents it from solvent quenching. The addition of quencher ( Sul and complexes 1 – 7 ) to EB–DNA mixture leads to a reduction in the emission intensity as they replace the EB, indicating competitive DNA binding with EB . The reduction in emission intensity is completely due to the competitive replacement of EB intercalated to DNA, not due to any interaction of EB with Sul /complexes.…”

“…Bathochromism was also observed in the spectra of these complexes with increasing concentration as exemplified in Figure 1. This shift in wavelength can be attributed to strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding, a phenomenon which can be likened to the intercalative mode of bonding involving a strong - * stacking interaction between aromatic chromophores and DNA bases [38][39][40]. The molar conductivities of the complexes measured in DMSO (10 −3 M) was between 13.58 and 18.48 indicating the nonelectrolyte nature of these complexes [41][42][43].…”
