Two new ruthenium(II) complexes, [Ru(phen)2(DNPIP)](ClO4)2 (1) and [Ru(phen)2(DAPIP)](ClO4)2 (2), were synthesized and characterized. The DNA-binding properties of these complexes were investigated using UV/vis absorption titration, viscosity measurements, thermal denaturation, and photoactivated cleavage. The DNA binding constants for complexes 1 and 2 are 2.63 ± 0.25×10(5) M(-1) (s=2.45) and 1.51±0.18×10(5) M(-1) (s=1.34). The results indicated that these complexes interacted with DNA through the intercalative mode. The cytotoxicity in vitro of complexes 1 and 2 were assessed against BEL-7402, HepG-2, and MCF-7 cell lines by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Apoptosis was studied with the acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining method. The antiproliferative mechanism was explored with flow cytometry. Cellular uptake studies showed that complexes 1 and 2 can enter into the cytoplasm and accumulate in the nuclei. Cell cycle arrest and antioxidant activity were also investigated.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010618 Phenanthrolines Phenanthroline
D010782 Photolysis Chemical bond cleavage reactions resulting from absorption of radiant energy. Photodegradation
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
