Biological investigation of a new Tröger's base–Ru(<sc>ii</sc>)–curcumin conjugate is described.
DNA-binding and phototoxicity of Ru(<sc>ii</sc>) complexes with ligands derived from pyrazinodipyridophenazine either <bold>phen</bold> or <bold>TAP</bold> as ancillary are reported.
A family of six Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes (1–6) which contain phenanthroline-based ligands functionalized with alkyl chains different lengths (one methyl group, 10 and 21 carbon chains) either 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene (TAP) as ancillary have been synthesized characterized. The influence the chain length on their photophysical photochemical properties well in photobiological applications has elucidated by monitoring changes MLCT-centered absorption...
A unique V-shaped "chiral" supramolecular scaffold, N-(4-pyridyl)-4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide Tröger's base (TBNap), was synthesized in good yield from a precursor (Nap). TBNap characterized using different spectroscopic methods and the molecular structure elucidated by diffraction analysis. new p-cymene-Ru(II)-curcumin conjugate (TB-Ru-Cur) designed reacting dipyridyl donor ruthenium-curcuminato acceptor [RuCur = (p-cymene)Ru-(curcuminato)Cl] presence of silver triflate. TB-Ru-Cur isolated...
Two new water-soluble amphiphilic Ru(<sc>ii</sc>) polypyridyl complexes were synthesised and their photophysical photobiological properties evaluated; both showed a rapid cellular uptake phototoxicity against HeLa cervical cancer cells.
Two new dinuclear Ru(<sc>ii</sc>) polypyridyl complexes containing an alkyl disulphide functionalised bipyridine-based ligand and either 1,10-phenanthroline (<bold>phen</bold>) or 1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene (<bold>TAP</bold>) ligands were developed.
Ruthenium(<sc>ii</sc>) polyazaaromatic complexes have gained interest in recent decades as biomolecular tools, especially the development of new phototherapeutic agents. These light emissive Ru based on π-deficient ligands were first designed to allow a photo-induced electron transfer (PET) with guanine base DNA since their <sup>3</sup>MLCT state is highly photo-oxidizing. Later field research was extended proteins highlighting PET process tryptophan residue. This paper reports kinetics...
The conjugation of oligonucleotides with reporters is great interest for improving their intrinsic properties or endowing new ones. In this context, we report herein a procedure the bis-labelling through oxime ligation (Click-O) and copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (Click-H). 5'-Azido 3'-aldehyde precursors were incorporated into oligonucleotides, subsequent coupling reactions Click-O Click-H (or vice versa) successfully achieved. particular, exhaustively investigated full...
