Abstract
In this study, two novel complexes [Cu(MCVH)phen(H(2)O)].ClO(4) (1) and [Cu(MCLH)phen(H(2)O)].ClO(4) (2) (here, MCVH(2)=(7-hydroxy-4-methyl-8-coumarinyl) valine, MCLH(2)=(7-hydroxy-4-methyl-8-coumarinyl) leucine) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, infrared spectra (IR), (1)H-NMR and UV-Vis measurements. The interactions of them with calf thymus DNA (ct DNA) have been investigated by absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. Experimental results reveal an intercalative interaction with DNA for the complexes, furthermore the binding affinity of 2 is higher than that of 1 according to the calculated binding constant values. In addition, they were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities toward human prostate cancer cell (PC3), human liver cell (L02) and human myeloid leukemia cancer cell (HL-60) by acid phosphoatase assay. Both of them showed significant cytotoxic potency.
