Four new drug-based oxidovanadium (IV) complexes were synthesized and characterized by various spectral techniques, including molar conductance, magnetic measurements, and thermogravimetric analysis. Moreover, optimal structures geometry for all syntheses was obtained by the Gaussian09 program via the DFT/B3LYP method and showed that all of the metal complexes adopted a square-pyramidal structure. The essential parameters, electrophilicity (ω) value and expression for the maximum charge that an electrophile molecule may accept (ΔN) showed the practical biological potency of [VO(CTZ)] 2HO. The complexes were also evaluated for their propensity to bind to DNA through UV-vis absorption titration. The result revealed a high binding ability of the [VO(CTZ)] 2HO complex with K = 1.40 × 10⁶ M. Furthermore, molecular docking was carried out to study the behavior of the VO (II) complexes towards colon cancer cell (3IG7) protein. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study was also implemented for the newly synthesized compounds. The results of validation indicate that the generated QSAR model possessed a high predictive power (R = 0.97). Within the investigated series, the [VO(CTZ)] 2HO complex showed the greatest potential the most selective compound comparing to the stander chemotherapy drug.
