Abstract
Herein, six ruthenium(ii) terpyridine complexes, i.e. [RuCl2(4-EtN-Phtpy)(DMSO)] (Ru1), [RuCl2(4-MeO-Phtpy)(DMSO)] (Ru2), [RuCl2(2-MeO-Phtpy)(DMSO)] (Ru3), [RuCl2(3-MeO-Phtpy)(DMSO)] (Ru4), [RuCl2(1-Bip-Phtpy)(DMSO)] (Ru5), and [RuCl2(1-Pyr-Phtpy)(DMSO)] (Ru6) with 4'-(4-diethylaminophenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (4-EtN-Phtpy), 4'-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (4-MeO-Phtpy), 4'-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (2-MeO-Phtpy), 4'-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (3-MeO-Phtpy), 4'-(1-biphenylene)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (1-Bip-Phtpy), and 4'-(1-pyrene)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (1-Pyr-Phtpy), respectively, were synthesized and fully characterized. The MTT assay demonstrates that the in vitro anticancer activity of Ru1 is higher than that of Ru2-Ru6 and more selective for Hep-G2 cells than for normal HL-7702 cells. In addition, various biological assays show that Ru1 and Ru6, especially the Ru1 complex, are telomerase inhibitors targeting c-myc G4 DNA and also cause apoptosis of Hep-G2 cells. With the same Ru center, the in vitro antitumor activity and cellular uptake ability of the 4-EtN-Phtpy and 1-Bip-Phtpy ligands follow the order 4-EtN-Phtpy > 1-Bip-Phtpy.

Abstract
This work was focused on a study of the DNA binding and cleavage properties of lomefloxacin (LMF) and its ternary transition metal complexes with glycine. The nature of the binding interactions between compounds and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was studied by electronic absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra and thermal denaturation experiments. The obtained results revealed that LMF and its complexes could interact with CT-DNA via partial/moderate intercalative mode. Furthermore, the DNA cleavage activities of the compounds were investigated by gel electrophoresis. Mechanistic studies of DNA cleavage suggest that singlet oxygen ((1)O2) is likely to be the cleaving agent via an oxidative pathway, except for Cu(II) complex which proceeds via both oxidative and hydrolytic pathways. Antimicrobial and antitumor activities of the compounds were also studied against some kinds of bacteria, fungi and human cell lines.

Abstract
New sixteen uric acid metal complexes of different stoichiometry, stereo-chemistries and modes of interactions were synthesized using different metals Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Cd, UO(2), Na and K. The synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, spectral (IR, UV-Vis and ESR) methods, thermal analysis (TG, DTA and DSC) and magnetic susceptibility studies. Molecular modeling calculations were used to characterize the ligation sites of the free ligand. Furthermore, quantum chemical parameters of uric acid such as the energies of highest occupied molecular orbital (E(HOMO)), energies of lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E(LUMO)), the separation energy (ΔE=E(LUMO)-E(HOMO)), the absolute electronegativity, χ, the chemical potential, P(i), the absolute hardness, η and the softness (σ) were obtained for uric acid. Eight different microbial categories were used to study the antimicrobial activity of the free ligand and ten of its complexes. The results indicate that the ligand and its metal complexes possess antimicrobial properties. The stoichiometry of iron-uric acid complex was studied by using different spectrophotometric methods.
