Investigation of DNA/BSA binding and cytotoxic properties of new Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) hydrazone complexes was written by Kanchanadevi, Sivaswamy;Fronczek, Frank R.;Immanuel David, Charles;Nandhakumar, Raju;Mahalingam, Viswanathan. And the article was included in Inorganica Chimica Acta in 2021.SDS of cas: 91-02-1 This article mentions the following:
Two mononuclear complexes of Co(II) (1) and Ni(II) (2) and a chloro bridged binuclear copper(II) complex (3) of 2-benzoylpyridine-4-methoxybenzoylhydrazone have been synthesized in order to explore their biol. activities, such as DNA binding, protein-binding, antioxidant activity and anticancer activity. Anal. and spectroscopic techniques have been used to characterize the complexes. The mol. structures of 2 and 3 have been obtained by single crystal XRD. Interaction of the ligand and the complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) has been explored by absorption and emission titrations, which revealed that the compounds interacted with CT-DNA through intercalation. Absorption titration and biol. studies revealed that the complexes interact with BSA through different binding modes to different extents. The radical scavenging ability of the ligand and the complexes was studied against DPPH radicals. The ligand and its metal complexes were tested for potential cytotoxicity towards human breast cancer (MCF-7) and lung cancer (A-549) cell lines. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone (cas: 91-02-1SDS of cas: 91-02-1).
Phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone (cas: 91-02-1) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Pyridine’s the lone pair does not contribute to the aromatic system but importantly influences the chemical properties of pyridine, as it easily supports bond formation via an electrophilic attack. Pyridine groups exist in countless molecules, and their applications include catalysis, drug design, molecular recognition, and natural product synthesis.SDS of cas: 91-02-1
