DNA-binding and photocleavage studies of ruthenium(II) complexes containing asymmetric intercalative ligand
摘要:
A novel asymmetric ligand 2-(pyridine-2-yl)-1-H-imidazo[4,5-i]dibenzo[2,3-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (pidbp) and its ruthenium complexes [Ru(L)(2)(pidbp)](2+). (L=bpy (2, 2'- bipyridine), phen (1, 10 - phenanthroline)), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ES-MS, H-1 NMR. Various methods support the conclusion that both Ru(II) complexes can intercalate into DNA base pairs. Complex [Ru(bPY)(2)(Pidbp)](2+) 4 exhibits its DNA "molecular light switch" properties. Furthermore, the two complexes are efficient DNA-photocleavers under irradiation at 365 nm, and complex 5 exhibits a stronger DNA-photocleavage efficiency than complex 4. The mechanism of DNA cleavage is an oxidative process by generating singlet oxygen. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
