| Abstract | The serendipitous discovery of the anticancer drug cisplatin cemented medicinal inorganic chemistry as an independent discipline in 1960s. DNA and protein kinases are one of the major intracellular targets of many anticancer drugs. It is thus highly desirable to develop metal complexes, either by interacting with DNA or to target alternative cellular machinery such as protein kinases to provide a more effective means of monitoring disease progression. In this study we report the synthesis and characterization of few novel Cu(II) and Zn(II) Knoevenagel condensed metallointercalators incorporating phthalic acid. The intercalation behavior of the complexes with DNA is confirmed by spectral and analytical experiments. Due to the promising performance of DNA interaction efficacy of Cu(II) complexes 1-4, their in vitro and in vivo anticancer properties are explored on various cancerous cell lines which reveal that they exhibit substantial anticancer activity without affecting the normal cells. It is found that the complex 1 induces apoptosis in Hep G2 cells. Theoretically, DFT is used to optimize the Cu(II) complexes 1-4 to explore their quantum mechanical properties and to carry out affinity studies against cyclin dependant kinase 2 (CDK2) to understand atomic level interactions. Further, the complex-receptor stability is confirmed by molecular dynamics. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
