Co(III) based surfactant complexes and their Dye, BSA and free radical activities

Study reports the preparation of metal/surfactant complexes or Metal Organic Ionic Framework (MOIF) based on ionic interaction of [Co(NH3)6]3+ and Dioctyl sulfosuccinate (AOT)/Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). MOIF is result of strong ionic interaction between cationic and anionic moieties without disturbing their own structures. MOIF of [Co(NH3)6]3+ and SDS was found in solid powdery form while [Co(NH3)6]3+ + AOT produced sticky material. UV/Vis, FTIR, Raman and XRD measurements were used to characterize the MOIFs. The ionic interaction between cationic complex [Co(NH3)6]3+ and anionic sulphur of AOT/SDS was confirmed by comparing spectra with their parental moieties. MOIF containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups showed their dye interaction activity studied with methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) depicting impact of linear and iso-alkyl chain ánd hydrophilic amine groups. MOIF showed their protein binding nature, studied with bovine serum albumin (BSA), analyzed with spectrophotometric titrations revealing that hydrophobicity affects the interaction. In Dye and protein interactions, MOIF of [Co(NH3)6]3+ + AOT showed strong activities than MOIF of [Co(NH3)6]3+ + SDS due to more hydrophobicity associated with MOIF of [Co(NH3)6]3+ + AOT. MOIFs have also shown good scavenging effect tested in vitro against free radical, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and the same, strong interaction for MOIF of [Co(NH3)6]3+ + AOT noticed.

Biological Impact of Pd (II) Complexes: Synthesis, Spectral Characterization, In Vitro Anticancer, CT-DNA Binding, and Antioxidant Activities

A new series of Pd (II) complexes of methyl substituted benzylamine ligands (BLs) has been synthesized and characterized via spectroscopic techniques such as UV/Vis. FTIR, LCMS, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR. The UV/Vis study in DMSO, DMSO + water, and DMSO + PBS buffer (pH = 7.2) confirmed their molecular sustainability in liquids. Their in vitro anticancer activity against breast cancer cell lines such as MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 makes them interesting for in vivo analysis. Their stronger DNA binding activity (DBA) compared with free ligand suggested them as a good DNA binder. DBA was further confirmed by physicochemical studies such as surface tension and viscosity of complex + DNA which inferred the disruption of DNA and intercalation of complexes, respectively. Their % binding activity, % disruption of DNA base pairs (DNABP), and % intercalating strength are reported in this paper for the first time for better understanding of DNA binding mechanism. Along with this, their scavenging activity (SA) determined through DPPH free radical and the results indicate good antioxidant behaviour of complexes.
