Abstract
The binding of water-soluble meso-tetra-(4N-oxyethylpyridyl) porphyrin (H2TOEtPyP4) and its manganese (III) derivative (MnTOEtPyP4) with calf thymus DNA have been quantitatively studied using UV/Vis spectrophotometry, Circular Dichroism (CD), thermal melting curves and viscometry. The results show, that porphyrins interact with DNA via one binding mode at low relative concentrations (r) and two binding modes at high values of r. The binding constant (Kb) and stoichiometry (n) were determined from binding isotherms for both porphyrin-DNA complexes. The thermal melting analysis indicates that the double-helical structure of DNA molecules is stabilizing in presence of studied porphyrins. At certain concentrations of porphyrin, two-stage melting curves were observed, which indicates the existence of two different binding modes. Obtained results show that MnTOEtPyP4 associates with DNA duplex via outside binding mode.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is one of the most significant bio-metals that helps the body to form connective tissue, bones, blood clotting factors, and sex hormones. It is necessary for fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, blood sugar regulation, and normal brain and nerve functions. It accelerates the synthesis of proteins, vitamin C, and vitamin B. It is also involved in the catalysis of hematopoiesis, regulation of the endocrine level, and improvement of immune function. Again, Mn metalloenzymes like arginase, glutamine synthetase, phosphoenolpyruvate decarboxylase, and Mn superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) contribute to the metabolism processes and reduce oxidative stress against free radicals. Recent investigations have revealed that synthetic Mn-complexes act as antibacterial and antifungal agents. As a result, chemists and biologists have been actively involved in developing Mn-based drugs for the treatment of various diseases including cancer. Therefore, any therapeutic drugs based on manganese complexes would be invaluable for the treatment of cancer/infectious diseases and could be a better substitute for cisplatin and other related platinum based chemotherapeutic drugs. From this perspective, attempts have been made to discuss the interactions and nuclease activities of Mn(II/III/IV) complexes with DNA through which one can evaluate their therapeutic applications.

Abstract
A series of cobalt porphyrins derived from hemin was prepared as cytochrome P450 models. Effects of substituents at the cobalt deuteroporphyrin-propionate side chains are investigated in oxidation of toluene with air to benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol without the use of solvent and sacrificial co-reductant. The catalytic activity of cobalt porphyrins depends on the type of substituents. When the electron-withdrawing groups like -Cl, -Br, were introduced into the double propionate side chains, they can increase the catalyst stability and selectivity to benzaldehyde. In comparison with these electron-withdrawing groups, the electron-donor groups, such as -CH3, -S-S- and -NH2 groups, can improve their catalytic activities. Moreover, the electron-donor group containing an unpaired electron (such as -S-S-, -NH2) is benefit for improving its catalytic efficiency and promoting the electron delivery. It can be concluded that the double propionate side chains in the deuteroporphyrin complex may participate in oxidation process and effect electron transfer from the high-valent metalloporphyrin species to the substrate.

Abstract
Binding properties of two water-soluble porphyrins, manganese(III) 5-(1-(4-carboxybutyl)pyridinium-4-yl) 10,15,20-tris(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin ( Mn(III)5-CBPyP ) and manganese(III) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin ( Mn(III)TMPyP ), in the presence of various concentration of calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA), has been studied in 7.5 mM phosphate buffer, pH = 7.2 and at various temperatures by UV-vis absorption, resonance light scattering (RLS) and fluorescence spectroscopy and viscosity measurement. Optical absorption and RLS measurements have demonstrated three different species of both porphyrins form in DNA solution. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated by van't Hoff equation at various temperatures. The values of -4.89 kJ.mol-1 and +65.98 J.mol-1.K-1 for Mn(III)5-CBPyP and -14.92 kJ.mol-1 and +15.46 J mol-1.K-1 for TMPyP were estimated for enthalpy and entropy changes of interaction, respectively. The data indicate that the process is exothermic and enthalpy- and entropy-driven, suggesting that electrostatic forces play a considerable role in the interaction process. The binding of both porphyins to DNA quenches fluorescence emission of ethidium bromide (EB) and the quenching process obeys linear Stern-Volmer relationship, indicating the quenching of electron transfer of EB from its binding sites by these porphyrins. The results of using these techniques indicate the external mode of binding for both porphyrins and a higher binding affinity of Mn(III)5-CBPyP with respect to Mn(III)TMPyP .

Abstract
A manganese porphyrin, manganese(III)-bis(aqua)-meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin, in the presence of KHSO5 is able to perform deoxyribose or guanine oxidation depending on its mode of interaction with DNA. These two reactions involve an oxygen-atom transfer or an electron transfer, respectively. The oxidative reactivity of the manganese-oxo porphyrin was compared on short oligonucleotide duplexes of different sequences. The major mechanism of DNA damage is due to deoxyribose hydroxylation at a site of strong interaction, an (A.T)3 sequence. Guanine oxidation by electron transfer was found not to be competitive with this major mechanism. It was found that a single intrastrand guanine was three orders of magnitude less reactive than an (A.T)3 sequence. The reactivity of a 5'-GG sequence was found to be intermediate and was estimated to be two orders of magnitude less than that of an (A.T)3 site. Short oligonucleotide duplexes, as double-stranded-DNA models, proved to be convenient tools for the study of the comparative reactivity of this reagent toward different sequences of DNA. However, they showed a particular reactivity at their terminal base pairs (the "end effect") that biased their modeling capacity for double-helix-DNA models.

Abstract
The capacity of G-quadruplex ligands to stabilize four-stranded DNA makes them able to inhibit telomerase, which is involved in tumour cell proliferation. A series of cationic metalloporphyrin derivatives was prepared by making variations on a meso-tetrakis(4-N-methyl-pyridiniumyl)porphyrin skeleton (TMPyP). The DNA binding properties of nickel(II) and manganese(III) porphyrins were studied by surface plasmon resonance, and the capacity of the nickel porphyrins to inhibit telomerase was tested in a TRAP assay. The nature of the metal influences the kinetics (the process is faster for Ni than for Mn) and the mode of interaction (stacking or external binding). The chemical alterations did not lead to increased telomerase inhibition. The best selectivity for G-quadruplex DNA was observed for Mn-TMPyP, which has a tenfold preference for quadruplex over duplex.

Abstract
The association constants (K) of nucleic acid monomers with a series of water-soluble bis-porphyrins (bisMC1, bisMC3, bisMC5, bisMC7, and bisMC11) in which two porphyrin units were linked by a methylene chain of various lengths were estimated spectrophotometrically. Among the bis-porphyrins, the K values are similar for each nucleic acid monomer, indicating that the bridging chain length does not affect the association of the bis-porphyrins with the nucleic acid monomers. The melting curves of poly(dA)-poly(dT) in the presence of bisMC3 or bisMC5 were found to be biphasic, suggesting that bisMC3 and bisMC5 are bound to poly(dA)-poly(dT) with a binding mode different from the groove binding exhibited by the corresponding porphyrin monomers. A negative-induced CD peak in the Soret region of bisMC3 and bisMC5 with poly(dA)-poly(dT) is observed and the visible spectral changes of bisMC3 and bisMC5 upon addition of poly(dA)-poly(dT) are accompanied by a large red shift of the Soret band (bisMC3: 21 nm, bisMC5: 23 nm) with substantial hypochromicity (bisMC3: 49%, bisMC5: 40%). Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that both of the porphyrin units of bisMC3 and bisMC5 intercalate into poly(dA)-poly(dT). In contrast to poly(dA)-poly(dT), the melting curves of poly(dA.dT)(2) in the presence of the bis-porphyrins did not show such biphasic behavior. Together with the CD and visible absorption data, it is certain that these bis-porphyrins do not intercalate into poly(dA.dT)(2).

Abstract
The interaction of transition metal complexes of cationic porphyrins bearing five membered rings, meso-tetrakis(1,2-dimethylpyrazolium-4-yl)porphyrin (MPzP, M=Mn(III), Ni(II), Cu(II) or Zn(II)), with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) has been studied. Metalloporphyrins NiPzP and CuPzP are intercalated into the 5'GC3' step of ctDNA. MnPzP is bound edge-on at the 5'TA3' step of the minor groove of ctDNA, while ZnPzP is bound face-on at the 5'TA3' step of the major groove of ctDNA. The binding constants of the metalloporphyrins to ctDNA range from 1.05x10(5) to 2.66x10(6) M(-1) and are comparable to those of other reported cationic porphyrins. The binding process of the metallopyrazoliumylporphyrins to ctDNA is endothermic and entropically driven. These results have revealed that the kind of central metal ions of metalloporphyrins influences the binding characteristics of the porphyrin to DNA.

Abstract
Reactions of bis(2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-butanato)oxochromate(V) with pUC19 DNA, single-stranded calf thymus DNA (ss-ctDNA), a synthetic oligonucleotide, 5'-GATCTATGGACTTACTTCAAGGCCGGGTAATGCTA-3' (35mer), deoxyguanosine and guanine were carried out in Bis-Tris buffer at pH 7.0. The plasmid DNA was only nicked, whereas the single-stranded DNA suffered extensive damage due to oxidation of the ribose moiety. The primary oxidation product was characterized as 5-methylene-2-furanone. Although all four bases (A, C, G and T) were released during the oxidation process, the concentration of guanine exceeds the other three. Orthophosphate and 3'-phosphates were also detected in this reaction. Likewise, the synthetic oliogomer exhibits cleavage at all bases with a higher frequecncy at G sites. This increased cleavage at G sites was more apparent after treating the primary oxidation products with piperidine, which may indicate base oxidation as well. DNA oxidation is shown to proceed through a Cr(V)-DNA intermediate in which chromium(V) is coordinated through the phosphodiester moiety. Two alternative mechanisms for DNA oxidation by oxochromate(V) are proposed to account for formation of 5-methylene-2-furanone, based on hydrogen abstraction or hydride transfer from the C1' site of the ribose followed by hydration and two successive beta-eliminations. It appears that phosphate coordination is a prerequisite for DNA oxidation, since no reactions between chromium(V) and deoxyguanosine or guanine were observed. Two other additional pathways, hydrogen abstraction from C4' and guanine base oxidation, are also discussed.

These compounds were also found to inhibit syncytium formation between persistently HIV-1-infected HUT-78 and uninfected Molt/4 cells, to interfere with HIV-1 binding to the cells, and to suppress HIV-1-associated reverse transcriptase activity.

Abstract
Two hybrid molecules based on a water-soluble zinc porphyrin covalently linked to 9-methoxyellipticine, 1 and 2, were studied as photoactivable DNA cleavers. The behaviour and efficiency of these photosensitizers were compared with the constitutive units of the hybrid molecules: meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrinato-zinc(II) tetraacetate (ZnTMPyP, 3) and 9-methoxy-N2methylellipticinium acetate (9-OMe-NME, 4). On irradiation at 436 nm, the efficiency of these hybrids is similar to that of ZnTMPyP and 50-fold greater than that of haematoporphyrin derivative (HPD). This photoinduced DNA cleavage is markedly reduced in the absence of oxygen and also depends on the DNA base pair to porphyrin ratio. It is inhibited by N-acetylhistidine and sodium azide, unaffected by mannitol and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and enhanced when changing H2O for D2O. The same scavenger effects are observed on irradiation at 514 nm. At 313 nm, the efficiency of hybrids 1 and 2 is intermediate between those of ZnTMPyP and 9-OMe-NME. In these conditions, a slight inhibitory effect of mannitol is observed, suggesting the participation of radicals probably derived from partial decomposition of the porphyrins. At these three wavelengths, singlet oxygen seems to be the main species responsible for DNA cleavage. In contrast with expectation, the great affinity of these molecules for DNA does not enhance their efficiency as DNA cleavers. This effect is discussed taking into account the long lifetime of singlet oxygen which may be generated far from the target. These molecules which are only photoactivable in the presence of DNA appear to be an efficient "molecular light switch".

Abstract
Selected double-stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotides have been used to probe, at the molecular level, DNA chain breakages induced by the chemical nuclease mesotetrakis(4-N- methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrinatomanganeseIII pentaacetate/KHSO5. The results show that cleavage selectively occurs on the two 3' sides of three contiguous A.T base pairs (an A.T triplet). Hydroxylation at 5' carbon of the deoxyribose targets represents the initial damage on the sugar-phosphodiester backbone and leaves a 3' phosphate and a 5' aldehyde at the ends. The fragments were separated by HPLC and unambiguously identified through chemical and biochemical reactions and/or sequencing after enzymatic conversion to mononucleosides. Also studied was the degradation of a 22-nucleotide DNA molecule containing two A.T triplets. Gel electrophoresis analyses on the corresponding 5'-32P-end-labeled substrate supported the above cleavage specificity and mechanism.

Abstract
Cationic manganese-porphyrin complexes, free or targetted with an intercalating agent, are able to cleave DNA using oxygen atom donors like potassium monopersulfate or magnesium monoperphthalate as coreactants. Detailed studies of the cleavage of calf thymus DNA, before and after a heating step, show that free bases and 5-methylene-2-furanone are the main reaction products, indicating that hydroxylation at the 1'-carbon atom is the main target of these chemical agents. These data confirm that metalloporphyrin derivatives interact with the minor groove of double-stranded DNA. Hydroxylation of one of the two C-H bonds at position-5' is another initial DNA damage, characterized by the formation of furfural as sugar degradation product. Besides these two main initial damage sites, a low contribution of a hydroxylation reaction at C4' can not be definitively discounted, while an hydroperoxidation route at C4' can be excluded.
