Binding of meso-tetra (4-N-methylpyridyl) porphine to DNA.

چکیده
The porphyrin photosensitizer, meso-Tetra (4-N-methyl-pyridyl) porphine tetraperchlorate is shown to unwind supercoiled ColEI DNA at a somewhat lower concentration than ethidium bromide. In contrast to this, the Fe(III) chelate of T4MPyP cannot unwind supercoiled DNA. It is concluded that these results corroborate our previous findings that, despite its large bulk, T4MPyP is fully capable of intercalating in DNA.

Efficient photocleavage of DNA by cationic porphyrin-acridine hybrids with the effective length of diamino alkyl linkage.
Positively charged porphyrins bearing an acridine with various lengths of diamino alkyl linkage, 5-[4-[(6-chloro-2-methoxy-9-acridyl)aminoalkylaminocarbonyl]phenyl]-10,15,20-tris(4-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphine triiodide, alkyl=ethyl, butyl, hexyl, or octyl, were synthesized. They exhibited more enhanced photocleavage activity of pUC18 plasmid DNA than TMPyP, meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridiniumy...
متن کاملBcl-2 Promoter Sequence G-Quadruplex Interactions with Three Planar and Non-Planar Cationic Porphyrins: TMPyP4, TMPyP3, and TMPyP2
The interactions of three related cationic porphyrins, TMPyP4, TMPyP3 and TMPyP2, with a WT 39-mer Bcl-2 promoter sequence G-quadruplex were studied using Circular Dichroism, ESI mass spectrometry, Isothermal Titration Calorimetry, and Fluorescence spectroscopy. The planar cationic porphyrin TMPyP4 (5, 10, 15, 20-meso-tetra (N-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphine) is shown to bind to a WT Bcl-2 G-quadrup...

The binding properties between meso-tetrakis(4-(N-methylpyridiumyl))porphyrin (TMPyP4) and the parallel DNA G-quadruplex (G4) of telomeric repeated sequence 5′-TTAGGG-3′ have been characterized by means of circular dichroism, steady-state absorption, steady-state fluorescence and picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies. The binding constant and the saturated binding number were det...
متن کاملPhotodynamic effect of lanthanide derivatives of meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphine against Staphylococcus aureus.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), used for cancer treatment, is also an alternative method for eradication of drug-resistant bacteria. This method utilizes a nontoxic light-activated dye, called a photosensitizer, and visible light to produce reactive oxygen species that lead to bacterial cell death. The purpose of this study was to investigate the bactericidal effect of PDT using lanthanide derivati...
متن کاملPhotoreaction generating active oxygens of In(3+)-tetrakis(4-methylpyridyl)-porphine in the presence of albumins.
The complex formation of In(3+)-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)-porphine (In-TMPyP) with albumin was studied by resonance Raman spectroscopy. Albumin coordinated to In(3+) through the -S(-) group(s). The photoreaction was investigated using the visible spectral change and In-TMPyP-thiourea complex was used as a model. It was demonstrated that the complex in a weak basic solution (pH 8.5) is excited...
