| Abstract | Five copper(II) complexes containing N,N′,N′′-trisubstituted guanidine ligands were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and UV-Visible, FT-IR, EPR and mass spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized copper(II) complexes (1–5) bear the general formula [Cu{C6H5CONC(NR)NHCH2C6H5}2] where R = phenyl (1), 4-methylphenyl (2), 4-ethoxyphenyl (3), 2-methoxyphenyl (4) or 1-naphthyl (5). The four coordinated square planar geometry of the complexes was confirmed by the single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The interaction of the Cu(II) complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) was explored using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic methods. The results revealed that the complexes have an affinity constant for DNA in the order of 104 M−1 and the mode of interaction is non-covalent intercalation. The DNA cleavage study showed that the complexes cleaved DNA without any external agent. The interaction of Cu(II) complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was also studied using absorption and fluorescence techniques. The cytotoxic activity of the Cu(II) complexes was probed in vitro against human breast (MCF7) and lung (A549) cancer cell lines. The complexes were also tested against mouse embryonic fibroblast (NIH 3T3) cell lines. Complexes 1 and 3 have good cytotoxic activity which is comparable with the cyclophosphamide drug. The complexes were less cytotoxic towards normal cell lines showing that they affect only cancer cell lines. Superoxide radical scavenging property of the complexes was assessed using the NBT assay. Copper(II) complexes showed appreciable superoxide radical scavenging activity with IC50 values ranging from 1.53 to 5.62 μM. A further molecular docking technique was employed to understand the binding of the complexes toward the molecular target DNA and human DNA topoisomerase I. |

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.
