Efficient hydrolytic cleavage of DNA and antiproliferative effect on human cancer cells by two dinuclear Cu(II) complexes containing a carbohydrazone ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline as a coligand.
Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry : JBIC 2019 March 19
We report the synthesis, crystal structures and biological activities of two dinuclear Cu(II) complexes [Cu(o-phen)LCu(OAc)] (1) and [Cu(o-phen)LCu(o-phen)](OAc) (2), where o-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, H3 L = o-HOC6 H4 C(H)=N-NH-C(OH)=N-N=C(H)-C6 H4 OH-o, and OAc=CH3 COO- . Both compounds display strong and broad X-band EPR spectra at RT in their powder state confirming that these are paramagnetic. The intercalative DNA binding of the compounds as revealed from spectrophotometric studies was found to be consistent with the results of fluorescence spectroscopic studies for ethidium bromide displacement assay as well as enhanced viscosity of DNA in the presence of these compounds. The compounds effectively catalyze hydrolytic cleavage of supercoiled pUC19 DNA and show remarkable cytotoxicity toward human lung cancer A549 cell line (IC50 values are 4.34 and 8.46 µM for 1 and 2, respectively) and breast cancer MCF7 cell line (IC50 values are 6.50 and 8.68 µM for 1 and 2, respectively) and are found to be relatively less toxic toward keratinocyte HaCaT normal cell line (IC50 values are 11.19 and 16.01 µM for 1 and 2, respectively). Annexin-V/PI dual staining results analyzed by flow cytometry strongly suggest the induction of apoptotic pathway for the anticancer activity of these complexes. Flow cytometry experiment for cell cycle analysis showed considerable increase in the G2/M phase in both A549 and MCF7 cell lines by these two compounds. On the other hand, compounds 1 and 2 activate reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in A549 cells, but act as scavengers or inhibitors of ROS in MCF7 cell line as analyzed by DCFDA staining using flow cytometry. Two dinuclear Cu(II) complexes exhibit efficient hydrolytic cleavage of DNA and display remarkable cytotoxicity against human lung cancer A549 and breast cancer MCF7cells. The ROS level in A549 cells is activated, but the ROS level in MCF7 cells is decreased in the presence of these complexes. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry shows G2/M phase arrest in both these cell lines.
