摘   要:

[Cu(L)] (1) and mixed ligand copper(II) complexes [Cu(L)(A)] (2 and 3), where L is the Schiff base derived from o-vanillin and l-tryptophan and A is pyridine (2) and imidazole (3), were synthesized and characterized using conventional and spectral techniques. 2 was structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray crystallography showing that Cu(II) is coordinated through N2O2 donors in a square plane. The EPR spectra of the complexes in frozen solution support a square-based structure. Electrochemical behavior of the complexes has been studied by cyclic voltammetry. The DNA-binding properties of L and 1–3 with calf thymus DNA were investigated by spectral and kinetic methods. For all the complexes, the maximum value of binding constant (0.38 × 106) was achieved with 3 by spectroscopic titration. The ability of compounds to break pUC19 DNA was checked by gel electrophoresis. The ligand and copper complexes exert cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cell line.
