Three copper(II) complexes of aminoquinoline derivatives, l-glycine-N'-8-quinolylamide (L1), l-alanine-N'-8-quinolylamide (L2), and N-(8-quinolyl) pyridine-2-carboxamide (L3) have been shown to cleave plasmid DNA pBR322 and pUC18 with or without the presence of H(2)O(2)/ascorbate. Crystallographic data reveal that the Cu(II) coordination plane in [Cu(L1)(Ac)(H(2)O)] (1) and [Cu(L2)(Ac)] (2) is nearly co-planar with the quinoline ring. The cleavage activity follows the order of complex 1>complex 2>complex 3, which is in agreement with the reverse order of the steric hindrance of the amino-substituent of the ligands. The presence of the standard radical scavengers does not have a clear effect on the cleavage efficiency of the Cu(II) complexes, suggesting the reactive species leading to DNA damage could be DNA-bound copper-centered radicals rather than the free diffusible ones.
三种氨基喹啉衍生物的铜(II)配合物,即L-甘氨酸-N'-8-喹啉酰胺(L1)、L-丙氨酸-N'-8-喹啉酰胺(L2)和N-(8-喹啉基)吡啶-2-甲酰胺(L3),已被证明在有或没有过氧化氢/抗坏血酸存在的情况下都能切割质粒DNA pBR322和pUC18。晶体学数据表明,[Cu(L1)(Ac)(H₂O)](1)和[Cu(L2)(Ac)](2)中的Cu(II)配位平面与喹啉环几乎共面。切割活性遵循配合物1>配合物2>配合物3的顺序,这与配体氨基取代基的空间位阻的相反顺序一致。标准自由基清除剂的存在对Cu(II)配合物的切割效率没有明显影响,这表明导致DNA损伤的活性物种可能是以DNA结合的铜为中心的自由基,而不是自由扩散的自由基。
