Ruthenium(II) complexes of bipyridine-glycoluril and their interactions with DNA.
2009
Nine complexes of the type [Ru(N−N)2(BPG)]Cl2 1−4, [Ru(N−N)(BPG)2]Cl2 5−8, and [Ru(BPG)3]Cl2 9 where N−N is 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), dipyrido[3,2-d:2′,3′-f]quinoxaline (dpq), dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine (dppz), which incorporates bipyridine−glycoluril (BPG-4b,5,7,7a-tetrahydro-4b,7a-epiminomethanoimino-6H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline-6,13-dione) as the ancillary ligand, have been synthesized and characterized. These complexes with the peripheral polypyridyl ligands have the ability to form conjugates with DNA. The DNA binding (absorption spectroscopy, steady-state and time-resolved emission measurements, steady-state emission quenching measurements) and cleavage (under dark and irradiated conditions) by these complexes has been studied to investigate the influence of the ancillary ligand. The binding ability of these complexes to DNA is dependent on the planarity of the intercalative polypyridyl ligand, which is further affected by the ancillary bipyridine−glycoluril l...
