Site-specific DNA oxidation by a dinuclear copper complex containing a photoisomerizable azobenzene ligand
摘要:
A dinuclear copper complex possessing an azobenzene backbone (Cu-2(II) 1) was synthesized and its affinity towards DNA was investigated and found to be dependent on the trans-cis isomeric forms. Upon exposure to UV light at 365 nm the trans form of the complex (Cu-2(II) trans-1) underwent photoisomerization into the cis-isomer (Cu-2(II) cis-1), which reverted to the original trans-form on exposure to visible light at 420 nm. Both the trans and cis isomers exhibited moderate DNA cleavage activity toward plasmid duplex DNA in the presence of a reducing agent 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) suggesting that the CuI species could activate molecular oxygen to form a reactive oxygen species in situ. Interestingly, the isomeric copper complexes showed different site-specificities in the oxidation of an oligodeoxynucleotide having single-strand-double-helix junctions in the sequence. The trans isomer Cu-2(I) trans-1 induced oxidation at the consecutive deoxyguanosine site (GG) near the junction; on the other hand, such sitespecificity was not observed in the case of Cu-2(I) cis-1.

studies on the aliphatic ligand hydroxylation in a coppercomplex of tridentate ligand 1a N,N-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-2-phenylethylamine} by O2 have been performed in order to shed light on the structure and reactivity of the active oxygen species of our functional model for copper monooxygenases (Itoh, S.; et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 4714). When the coppercomplex [CuII(1a)(ClO4)2] was treated
