Studies on the Interaction of [SnMe2Cl2(bu2bpy)] Complex with ct-DNA Using Multispectroscopic, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Molecular Docking

The interaction of SnMe₂Cl₂(bu₂bpy)complex with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) has been explored following, using spectroscopic methods, viscosity measurements, Atomic force microscopy, Thermal denaturation and Molecular docking. It was found that Sn(IV) complex could bind with DNA via intercalation mode as evidenced by hyperchromism and bathochromic in UV-Vis spectrum; these spectral characteristics suggest that the Sn(IV) complex interacts with DNA most likely through a mode that involves a stacking interaction between the aromatic chromophore and the base pairs of DNA. In addition, the fluorescence emission spectra of intercalated methylene blue (MB) with increasing concentrations of SnMe₂Cl₂(bu₂bpy) represented a significant increase of MB intensity as to release MB from MB-DNA system. Positive values of ΔH and ΔS imply that the complex is bound to ct-DNA mainly via the hydrophobic attraction. Large complexes contain the DNA chains with an average size of 859 nm were observed by using AFM for Sn(IV) Complex-DNA. The Fourier transform infrared study showed a major interaction of Sn(IV) complex with G-C and A-T base pairs and a minor perturbation of the backbone PO₂ group. Addition of the Sn(IV)complex results in a noticeable rise in the Tm of DNA. In addition, the results of viscosity measurements suggest that SnMe₂Cl₂(bu₂bpy) complex may bind with the classical intercalative mode. From spectroscopic and hydrodynamic studies, it has been found that Sn(IV)complex interacts with DNA by intercalation mode. Optimized docked model of DNA-complex mixture confirmed the experimental results.

Triphenyltin(iv) adducts of diphosphoryl ligands: structural, electronic and energy aspects from X-ray crystallography and theoretical calculations

Triphenyltin(iv) adducts of diphosphoryl ligands, RR′P(O)–X–P(O)RR′, were introduced. The influence of the ligand structures on the crystal packing of the complexes and Sn-O interactions was discussed using geometrical and theoretical analysis.

Structural, spectral, thermal and biological studies on (E)-2-(1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide and its metal complexes

Schiff base complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and U(VI)O2 with (E)-2-(1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide (H2PHAT) were synthesized and characterized by different physicochemical methods, elemental analysis, (UV-vis, IR and (1)H NMR spectra) and thermal analysis (TG and DTG) techniques. Spectral data showed that H2PHAT behaves as a NS bidentate ligand through both thione sulphur or thiol sulphur and the nitrogen of the pyridine ring or azomethine nitrogen, NSN tridentate ligand through both thione sulphur or thiol sulphur, the nitrogen of the pyridine ring and azomethine nitrogen. ESR spectrum data for Cu(II) solid complex confirms the square planar state is the most fitted one for the coordinated structure. The kinetic parameters were determined for each thermal degradation stage of the complexes using Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. From modeling studies, the bond length, bond angle, HOMO, LUMO and dipole moment had been calculated to confirm the geometry of the ligand and their investigated complexes. The biological activity was tested against DNA showing that Cd(II), U(VI)O2, Ni(II) and Mn(II) complexes had powerful and complete degradation effect. Also, the ligand and its complexes were screened against Bacillus thuringiensis as Gram-positive bacteria and Pseudomonas aeuroginosa as Gram-negative bacteria using the inhibitory zone diameter.
