DNA-binding, photocleavage, cytotoxicity in?vitro, apoptosis and cell cycle arrest studies of symmetric ruthenium(II) complexes
文摘
Two novel ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(dmb)2(addppn)](ClO4)2 (rong class=""boldFont"">1rong>) and [Ru(bpy)2(addppn)](ClO4)2 (rong class=""boldFont"">2rong>) were synthesized. The DNA-binding constants of complexes rong class=""boldFont"">1rong> and rong class=""boldFont"">2rong> were determined to be 4.78 (¡À0.49)?¡Á?105 and 7.42 (¡À0.53)?¡Á?105?M?1. The results indicate that complexes rong class=""boldFont"">1rong> and rong class=""boldFont"">2rong> interact with CT?DNA through intercalative mode. The cytotoxicity in?vitro of the complexes toward BEL-7402, HeLa, MG-63 and SKBR-3 cells was assessed by MTT assay. The apoptosis was carried out with Hoechst 33258 staining method and flow cytometry. The cellular uptake was observed under fluorescence microscope. The cell cycle arrest shows that the antiproliferative mechanism induced by complexes rong class=""boldFont"">1rong> and rong class=""boldFont"">2rong> on BEL-7402 cells is G0/G1 phase arrest.
