Abstract
A pair of ruthenium(II) complex enantiomers, Δ- and Λ-[Ru(bpy)2MBIP]2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, MBIP = 2-(3-bromophenyl)imidazo[5,6-f]phenanthroline), were designed, synthesized, and characterized. Comparative studies between the enantiomers on their binding behaviors to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were conducted using UV-visible, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopies, viscosity measurements, isothermal titration calorimetry, a photocleavage experiment, and molecular simulation. The experimental results indicated that both the enantiomers spontaneously bound to CT-DNA through intercalation stabilized by the van der Waals force or the hydrogen bond and driven by enthalpy and that Δ-[Ru(bpy)2MBIP]2+ intercalated into DNA more deeply than Λ-[Ru(bpy)2MBIP]2+ did and exhibited a better DNA photocleavage ability. Molecular simulation further indicated that Δ-[Ru(bpy)2MBIP]2+ more preferentially intercalated between the base pairs of CT-DNA to the major groove, and Λ-[Ru(bpy)2MBIP]2+ more favorably intercalated to the minor groove. These research findings should be very helpful to the understanding of the stereoselectivity mechanism of DNA-bindings of metal complexes, and be useful for the design of novel metal-complex-based antitumor drugs with higher efficacy and lower toxicity.

Abstract
Mononuclear cuprous complexes 1 and 2, [{CH3E(o-C6H4)CH=NCH2}2Cu]ClO4; E=S/Se, have been synthesized by the reaction of bis(methyl)(thia/selena) salen ligands and [Cu(CH3CN)4]ClO4. Both the products were characterized by elemental analysis, ESI-MS, FT-IR, 1H/13C/77Se NMR, and cyclic voltammetry. The complexes possess tetrahedral geometry around metal center with the N2S2/N2Se2 coordination core. Cyclic voltammograms of complexes 1 and 2 displayed reversible anodic waves at E1/2=+0.08V and +0.10V, respectively, corresponding to the Cu(I)/Cu(II) redox couple. DNA binding studies of both the complexes were performed applying absorbance, fluorescence and molecular docking techniques. Competitive binding experiment of complexes with ct-DNA against ethidium bromide is performed to predict the mode of binding. The results indicate the groove binding mode of complexes 1 and 2 to DNA. The binding constants revealed the strong binding affinity of complexes towards ct-DNA.
