| Abstract | Four (μ-oxo)diiron(III) complexes [Fe2(μ-O)(H2O)2B4](ClO4)4 (1 and 2) and [Fe2(μ-O)(μ-O2CMe)B4](ClO4)3 (3 and 4), where B = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and dipyrido[3,2-d:2′,3′-f]quinoxaline (dpq), are prepared and their DNA binding and cleavage activity studied. The complexes show DNA binding propensity giving Kb values of 3.6–9.3 × 104 M−1. The viscosity and DNA melting data suggest a surface and/or groove binding nature of the complexes to calf thymus (CT) DNA. The DNA binding data obtained from isothermal calorimetric study indicate two binding modes involving surface aggregation and/or partial intercalation of the phenanthroline bases to CT DNA. All the complexes show chemical nuclease activity in the presence of 3-mercaptopropionic acid as a reducing agent following a mechanistic pathway that involves formation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Photoirradiation of pUC19 DNA at 365 nm in the presence of 1–4 show that the complexes, barring 1, are efficient photocleavers of supercoiled DNA to its nicked circular form. Complexes 2–4 display photocleavage activity in visible light of different wavelengths. Complexes 3 and 4 exhibit significant DNA cleavage activity in red light of 633 nm, the wavelength known for the activity of the photodynamic therapeutic drug Photofrin®. The mechanistic study using various additives suggests a minor groove binding nature of the complexes with the formation of singlet oxygen from the quinoxaline moiety of dpq and hydroxyl radical from photodecarboxylation of the acetate ligand as the reactive oxygen species. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
