Abstract
The interaction of drugs with DNA is important for the discovery of novel drug molecules and for understanding the therapeutic effects of drugs as well as the monitoring of side effects. For this reason, many studies have been carried out to investigate the interactions of drugs with nucleic acids. In recent years, a large number of studies have been performed to electrochemically detect drug-DNA interactions. The fast, sensitive, and accurate results of electrochemical techniques have resulted in a leading role for their implementation in this field. By means of electrochemical techniques, it is possible not only to demonstrate drug-DNA interactions but also to quantitatively analyze drugs. In this context, electrochemical biosensors for drug-DNA interactions have been examined under different headings including anticancer, antiviral, antibiotic, and central nervous system drugs as well as DNA-targeted drugs. An overview of the studies related to electrochemical DNA biosensors developed for the detection of drug-DNA interactions that were reported in the last two decades in the literature is presented herein along with their applications and they are discussed together with their future perspectives.

Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a significant target for small organic and inorganic drug molecules. Understanding the DNA interaction mechanism of these molecules is vital for new drug designs. In this work, interactions between xanthine (XT), theophylline (TP), and theobromine (TB) with calf-thymus double-strained DNA (dsDNA) were monitored via an experimental and theoretical approach. Experimentally, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques were used on the surface of the NiO/MWCNT/NNaM/PGE electrochemical platform in vitro. Kinetic parameters, including diffusion coefficients, surface concentrations, and standard heterogeneous rate constants, were measured in the absence and presence of DNA using scan rate studies. In the presence of DNA, kinetic parameters were observed to be reduced significantly. Thermodynamic parameters, such as DNA binding constants and standard free Gibbs energies, were calculated for each molecule using the CV and DPV techniques. Both techniques suggested a binding affinity order of XT > TB > TP. Theoretically, density functional theory was applied for geometry optimization, natural bond orbital analyses, and molecular orbital energies of XT, TP, and TB. Experimental and theoretical binding affinities confirm each other. The most energetically stable ligand-DNA complexes expressed that XT, TP, and TB interact with dsDNA via minor groove binding mode, using mostly hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
Development of rapid and sensitive method for the discrimination of bases in oligonucleotides is of great importance in clinical diagnosis. Here, we demonstrate the first case of single iridium(III) solvent complex-based electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) and photoluminescence (PL) sensor array for the discrimination of bases in oligonucleotides. One iridium (III) solvent complex ([Ir(ppy)2(DMSO)Cl], ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, probe 1) was designed as both ECL and PL probe while five bases (guanine, adenine, cytosine, thymine and uracil) were chosen as analytes. Two-element sensor array was built for the discrimination of five bases based on the fingerprint response of probe 1 to bases via coordination interactions. The combination of unique ECL and PL variations with principal component analysis was applied for the quantitative analysis of five bases in a linear range of 1.0 μM-10 μM and for the effective discrimination of individual base, the mixture of bases and oligonucleotides. Moreover, the sensor array was successfully applied to discriminate different mismatched ss-DNAs from HIV gene (a fully-matched ss-DNA), even at single-base difference. This work demonstrates that the sensor array using single iridium (III) solvent complex is a promising approach for the discrimination of bases with good sensitivity and simpleness in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The binding of drugs to DNA plays a critical role in new drug discovery and is important for designing better drugs. In this study, the interaction and binding mode of calf-thymus double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ct-dsDNA) with cinacalcet (CIN) from the calcimimetic drug that mimics the action of calcium on tissues group were investigated. The interaction of CIN with ct-dsDNA was observed by the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique by following the decrease in electrochemical oxidation signals to deoxyguanosine and adenosine. A competitive study was performed on an indicator, methylene blue, to investigate the interaction of the drug with ct-dsDNA by fluorescence spectroscopy. Interaction studies have shown that the binding mode for the interaction of CIN with ct-dsDNA could be groove-binding. According to the results obtained, the binding constant values were found to be 6.30 × 104 M−1 and 3.16 × 105 M−1, respectively, at 25 °C as obtained from the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and spectroscopic techniques. Possible molecular interactions of CIN with dsDNA were explored via molecular docking experiments. The docked structure indicated that CIN could fit well into the minor groove of the DNA through H-bonding and π-π stacking contact with CIN.

[PMID: 35294597 PMCID: PMC8923963 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-03955-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The ability of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to be used as drug nanocarriers has helped rapidly to invent novel strategies to treat diseases, such as cancer. The nanoparticles may offer a valuable tool to novel pH-sensitive drug delivery systems in the present scenario because of their undergoing mechanisms associated with the regulated dissolution, aggregation, and generation of oxygen radicals as well. These processes could be monitored by electrochemical (bio)sensors that are less money and time-consuming compared to other analytical approaches, however, with comparable analytical performance. In this paper, synthesized and microscopically characterized gallic acid-coated AgNPs (GA-AgNPs) are investigated using spectral and electrochemical methods. To investigate the Ag+ release, a 21-day ageing experiment is performed spectrophotometrically, finding that the peak maximum of GA-AgNPs spectra diminished by 24.5%. The highest Ag+ content was electrochemically determined in the supernatant solution after centrifugation (6.97 μmol·L-1), while no significant concentration of silver ions in solution after redispersion was observed (1.26 μmol·L-1). The interaction experiment indicates a stabilization of GA-AgNPs in the presence of long-chain dsDNA as well as a mutual electrostatic interaction with DNA sugar-phosphate backbone. This interaction mechanism is confirmed by FTIR analysis, showing a shift (1049 to 1061 cm-1 and 913 to 964 cm-1) specific to DNA phosphate bands. Finally, doxorubicin-loaded GA-AgNPs are monitored for the specific drug release in the physiological and more reactive weakly acidic microenvironment. Hereby, electrochemical (bio)sensing of GA-AgNPs undergoing mechanisms shows a huge potential to be used for monitoring of drug delivery systems at cancer therapy.

Abstract
Monitoring of pathogenic bacteria plays a vital role in precluding foodborne disease outbreaks. In this research work, a genosensor based on innovative label-free DNA was developed for the detection of Salmonella. typhimurium (S. typhimurium) in the milk samples. To realize this objective, bimetallic Fe/Mn MOF is synthesized and mixed with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) and AuNPs which are then stabilized on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and the obtained nanocomposite is immobilized on the Au electrode surface. Different characterization methods such as FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, FTIR, and XRD were used for investigating the particle size and morphological features. Electrochemical and impedimetric techniques were used for exploring the applicability of the fabricated genosensor. Under optimal circumstances, LOD and LOQ have acquired at 0.07 pM and 0.21 pM. Moreover, an extensive linear range of 1 pM-1 μM was resulted for ss-tDNA (single-stranded target DNA), R2 obtained 0.9991. The recoveries were obtained 95.6-104%. Great selectivity against one, two, and three-base mismatched sequences was also shown for fabricated biosensing assay. Furthermore, negative genosensing assay control for investigating selectivity was provided by the ss-tDNAs of Haemophilusinfluenzae and Shigella dysenteriae bacteria. Well-fabricated genosensing bio-assay represents better performance, great specificity, high sensitivity, increased active sites, and finally results in an increase in the electron transfer rate. It is to be noted that the organized genosensing bio-assay is capable of being re-used and re-generated in a straightforward manner to estimate the hybridization process.

Abstract
For the comparison of the DNA interactions with drugs, two newly synthesized prospective anticancer drugs, 6-(1H-imidazo[4,5-b]phenasine-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol (IPBD) and, its -Cl derivative (Cl-IPBD) have been compared with doxorubicin, a drug widely used in medicine, and with Vitamin C. These compounds were accumulated at a supercoiled scpUC19 plasmid layer formed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Stability of the drug-plasmid/GCE layer was achieved by initial plasmid accumulation using prolonged potential cycling for ca. 200 min. from highly diluted scpUC19 solutions (8 pg/mL), followed by accumulation of the drugs from 1 µM - 50 µM. Electrochemical properties in terms of the redox potentials of the compounds and capacitative/resistive characteristics of the layers have been tested using, in sequence, four voltammetric methods: Square Wave (SWV), Differential Pulse (DPV) and Alternating Current (ACV) with phase detection 0° and 90°. Importantly, with progressive drug accumulation in the plasmid, for Cl-IPBD, but not for IPBD, an increase in peak (I) at -0.42 V vs. SCE was observed, while biological tests revealed a higher cytotoxic activity for Cl-IPBD vs. IPBD. Moreover, an additional redox signal of Cl-IPBD was observed with the compound reductive accumulation at the plasmid layer in the presence of Vitamin C.

Abstract
Cancer is a multifactorial family of diseases that is still a leading cause of death worldwide. More than 100 different types of cancer affecting over 60 human organs are known. Chemotherapy plays a central role for treating cancer. The development of new anticancer drugs or new uses for existing drugs is an exciting and increasing research area. This is particularly important since drug resistance and side effects can limit the efficacy of the chemotherapy. Thus, there is a need for multiplexed, cost-effective, rapid, and novel screening methods that can help to elucidate the mechanism of the action of anticancer drugs and the identification of novel drug candidates. This review focuses on different label-free bioelectrochemical approaches, in particular, impedance-based methods, the solid supported membranes technique, and the DNA-based electrochemical sensor, that can be used to evaluate the effects of anticancer drugs on nucleic acids, membrane transporters, and living cells. Some relevant examples of anticancer drug interactions are presented which demonstrate the usefulness of such methods for the characterization of the mechanism of action of anticancer drugs that are targeted against various biomolecules.

Abstract
The review summarizes literature data on the DNA-binding, DNA-protecting and DNA-damaging activities of a range of natural human endogenous and exogenous compounds. Small natural organic molecules bind DNA in a site-specific mode, by arranging tight touch with the structure of the major and minor grooves, as well as individual bases in the local duplex DNA. Polyphenols are the best-studied exogenous compounds from this point of view. Many of them demonstrate hormetic effects, producing both beneficial and damaging effects. An attempt to establish the dependence of DNA damage or DNA protection on the concentration of the compound turned out to be successful for some polyphenols, daidzein, genistein and resveratrol, which were DNA protecting in low concentrations and DNA damaging in high concentrations. There was no evident dependence on concentration for quercetin and kaempferol. Probably, the DNA-protecting effect is associated with the affinity to DNA. Caffeine and theophylline are DNA binders; at the same time, they favor DNA repair. Although most alkaloids damage DNA, berberine can protect DNA against damage. Among the endogenous compounds, hormones belonging to the amine class, thyroid and steroid hormones appear to bind DNA and produce some DNA damage. Thus, natural compounds continue to reveal beneficial or adverse effects on genome integrity and provide a promising source of therapeutic activities.

Abstract
We explore the influence of the relative position of the methyl substituent on the photophysics of theophylline and theobromine, two molecules that are structurally related to the DNA bases. Using a combination of spectroscopic techniques and quantum mechanical calculations, we show that moving the methyl group from N1 in theophylline to N7 in theobromine causes significant differences in their excited state properties, i.e., it produces pyramidalization of N7 in the excited state of the latter. Paradoxically, this modification seems to have little effect on the structural properties of the cation and the ionization process. It is suggested that similar effects may exist in the excited state properties of DNA bases.
