Potent oxidative DNA cleavage by the di-copper cytotoxin: [Cu2(μ-terephthalate)(1,10-phen)4]2+.

چکیده
The di-copper(II) cation, [Cu(2)(μ-terephthalate)(1,10-phen)(4)](2+), is a powerful, non-sequence-specific, minor-groove oxidizer of duplex DNA which, unlike copper(II) bis-1,10-phenanthroline chloride, operates independently of exogenous reagents. The agent displays excellent in vitro cytoxicity towards cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells, producing intracellular reactive oxygen species upon nano-molar exposure.

The deleterious effects of metal-catalyzed reactive oxygen species (ROS) in biological systems can be seen in a wide variety of pathological conditions including cancer, cardiovascular disease, aging, and neurodegenerative disorder. On the other hand however, targeted ROS production in the vicinity of nucleic acids-as demonstrated by metal-activated bleomycin-has paved the way for ROS-active ch...

The title hydrated complex, [Cu2(C7H4O3)(C12H8N2)4](C7H5O3)2·7.5H2O, is composed of dinuclear CuII complex cations, noncoordinating 4-hy-droxy-benzoate anions and water mol-ecules of crystallization. In the dinuclear complex cation, the CuII ions are bridged by a 4-oxidobenzoate ligand and thus each metal ion is five-coordinated by two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) mol-ecules and one ani...
