Abstract
The major focus of the present work lies in exploring the influence of nanoconfinement within aerosol-OT (AOT) reverse micelles on the binding interaction of two phenazinium-based photosensitizers, namely, phenosafranin (PSF) and safranin-O (SO), with the DNA duplex. Circular dichroism and dynamic light-scattering studies reveal the condensation of DNA within the reverse micellar interior (transformation of the B-form of native DNA to ψ-form). Our results unveil a remarkable effect of the degree of hydration of the reverse micellar core on the stability of the stacking interaction (intercalation) of the drugs (PSF and SO) into DNA; increasing size of the water nanopool (that is, w 0) accompanies decreasing curvature of the DNA duplex structure with the consequent effect of increasing stabilization of the drug:DNA intercalation. The marked differences in the dynamical aspects of the interaction scenario following encapsulation within the reverse micellar core and the subsequent dependence on the size of the water nanopool are also meticulously explored. The differential degrees of steric interactions offered by the drug molecules (presence of methyl substitutions on the planar phenazinium ring in SO) are also found to affect the extent of intercalation of the drugs to DNA. In this context, it is imperative to state that the water pool of the reverse micellar core is often argued to approach bulk-like properties of water with increasing micellar size (typically w 0 ≥ 10), so that deviation from the bulk water properties is likely to be minimized in large reverse micelles (w 0 ≥ 10). On the contrary, our results (particularly quantitative elucidation of micropolarity and dynamical aspects of the interaction) explicitly demonstrate that the bulk-like behavior of the nanoconfined water is not truly achieved even in large reverse micelles.

Abstract
RNA targeting through small molecules is an emerging and promising therapeutic route that necessitates identification of small molecules that can selectively target specific RNA structures. In this context a comparative study of the interaction of two phenothiazinium dyes thionine (THN) and toluidine blue O (TBO) with three double stranded RNA polynucleotides (ds RNAs) viz. poly(I).poly(C), poly(A).poly(U) and poly(C).poly(G) was conducted by various biophysical techniques. A higher binding of THN with poly(I).poly(C) over poly(A).poly(U) and poly(C).poly(G) was observed. The intercalative binding and RNA induced fluorescence quenching of the dyes through a static mechanism was confirmed by viscosity studies and steady state polarization anisotropy experiments. Binding induced structural perturbation in the RNA polynucleotides was confirmed from circular dichroism spectroscopy. DSC and thermal melting experiments confirmed that the binding resulted in strong thermal stabilization. The binding affinity of THN with poly(I).poly(C) was the highest followed by that to poly(A).poly(U) and poly(C).poly(G). The trend was the same for TBO also, but THN bound stronger than TBO. The binding of the dyes was characterized by strong negative enthalpy changes with minimum positive entropy changes indicating typical intercalative interaction. The results presented here may be useful to design new types of RNA binding antitumor, antibacterial and anticancer agents.

Abstract
RNA targeting through small molecules that can selectively bind specific RNA structures is an important current strategy in therapeutic drug development. Towards this strategy a comparative study on the interaction of two phenazinium dyes, safranine-O and phenosafranine to double stranded RNAs, poly(I).poly(C), poly(A).poly(U) and poly(C).poly(G) was performed. Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric studies revealed non-cooperative binding of the dyes to the duplex RNA with binding constants of the order 10(5)M(-1) with a higher affinity of safranine-O to poly(I).poly(C) followed by poly(A).poly(U) and poly(C).poly(G). Anisotropy and fluorescence quenching results confirmed an intercalation mode of binding for the dyes on these RNAs. Binding induced conformational changes in the RNA polynucleotides were revealed from circular dichroism data. Thermal melting study and DSC experiments demonstrated stabilization of dye-RNA complexes. Calorimetric studies revealed that the binding was accompanied by a large positive entropy term with a small negative enthalpy contributions. Significant hydrophobic forces in the complexation of the double stranded RNAs with the dyes were confirmed from the negative heat capacity changes. Enthalpy-entropy compensation was also observed in the binding. Parsing of the Gibbs energy suggested a larger non-electrostatic contribution in all the cases. The results presented here may be helpful to design new types of RNA-based therapeutic agents.

Abstract
A comprehensive study on the binding of phenazinium dyes viz. janus green B, indoine blue, safranine O and phenosafranine with double stranded poly(A) using various spectroscopic and calorimetric techniques is presented. A higher binding of janus green B and indoine blue over safranine O and phenosafranine to poly(A) was observed from all experiments. Intercalative mode of binding of the dyes was inferred from fluorescence polarization anisotropy, iodide quenching and viscosity experiments. Circular dichroism study revealed significant perturbation of the secondary structure of poly(A) on binding of these dyes. Results from isothermal titration calorimetry experiments suggested that the binding was predominantly entropy driven with a minor contribution of enthalpy to the standard molar Gibbs energy. The results presented here may open new opportunities in the application of these dyes as RNA targeted therapeutic agents.

Abstract
RNA targeting is an evolving new approach to anticancer therapeutics that requires identification of small molecules to selectively target specific RNA structures. In this report, the interaction of biogenic polyamines spermine, spermidine and the synthetic analogue 1-naphthylacetyl spermine with three double-stranded RNA polynucleotides--poly(I)·poly(C), poly(C)·poly(G), and poly(A)·poly(U)--has been described to understand the structural and thermodynamic basis of the binding and the comparative efficacy of the analogue over the natural polyamines. Circular dichroism spectroscopy, thermal melting experiments, and ethidium bromide displacement assay were used to characterize the interaction. Microcalorimetry studies were performed to deduce the energetics of the interaction and atomic force microscopy experiments done to gain insight into the interaction at the molecular level. The experiments demonstrated structural perturbations in the polynucleotides on binding of the polyamines. Thermal melting studies showed enhanced stabilization of RNA-polyamine complexes with increase in the total standard molar enthalpy of transition. The binding affinity was strongest for poly(I)·poly(C) as revealed by microcalorimetry results and varied as poly(I)·poly(C) > poly(C)·poly(G) > poly(A)·poly(U). The order of affinity for the polyamines was spermine >1-naphthylacetyl spermine > spermidine. Total enthalpy-entropy compensation and high standard molar heat capacity values characterized the interactions. The results of the study on the binding of polyamines to dsRNAs presented here have been compared to those reported earlier with dsDNAs. The present findings advance our knowledge on the mechanism of interaction of polyamines with RNA and may help in the search for analogues that can interfere with biogenic polyamine metabolism and function.

Abstract
The interaction of phenazinium dyes, safranine O and phenosafranine with single stranded polyadenylic acid was studied using spectroscopic viscometric and calorimetric techniques. Both dyes bind to polyadenylic acid strongly with association constant of the order of 10(5)M(-1). Safranine O showed higher affinity over phenosafranine. The binding induced conformational changes in polyadenylic acid, but the extent of change was much higher with safranine O. The bound safranine O molecules acquired strong induced circular dichroism spectra compared to the weak induced circular dichroism of phenosafranine. Fluorescence polarization, iodide quenching, viscosity results and energy transfer from bases to bound dyes suggested intercalation of the dye molecules to polyadenylic acid structure. The binding was entropy driven in both the cases. Circular dichroism and optical melting studies revealed cooperative melting profiles for dye-polyadenylic acid complexes that provided evidence for the formation of self-structured polyadenylic acid on dye binding. This structural reorganization was further confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry results.

Abstract
Isoquinoline alkaloids and their analogs represent an important class of molecules for their broad range of clinical and pharmacological utility. These compounds are of current interest owing to their low toxicity and excellent chemo preventive properties. These alkaloids can play important role in stabilising the nucleic acid triple helices. The present study has focused on the interaction of five 9-O-(ω-amino) alkyl ether berberine analogs with the DNA triplex poly(dT)·poly(dA)*poly(dT) and the parent duplex poly(dA)·poly(dT) studied using various biophysical techniques. Scatchard analysis of the spectral data indicated that the analogs bind both to the duplex and triplex in a non-cooperative manner in contrast to the cooperative binding of berberine to the DNA triplex. Strong intercalative binding to the DNA triplex structure was revealed from ferrocyanide quenching, fluorescence polarization and viscosity results. Thermal melting studies demonstrated higher stabilization of the Hoogsteen base paired third strand of the DNA triplex compared to the Watson-Crick strand. Circular dichroism studies suggested a stronger perturbation of the DNA triplex conformation by the alkaloid analogs compared to the duplex. The binding was entropy-driven in each case and the entropy contribution to free energy increased as the length of the alkyl side chain increased. The analogs exhibited stronger binding affinity to the triple helical structure compared to the parent double helical structure.

Abstract
We investigated with spectroscopic techniques the noncovalent interaction of a bimetallic water-soluble (Zn(II)/Pt(II)) porphyrazine hexacation, [(PtCl(2))(CH(3))(6)LZn](6+), and its octacationic analogue [(CH(3))(8)LZn](8+), lacking the cis-platin-like functionality, with a 21-mer double strand (ds) 5'-d[GGG(TTAGGG)(3)]-3'/3'-d[CCC(AATCCC)(3)]-5', as model for B-DNA. Both hexacation and octacation tend to aggregate in water. The structure as well as the ground and excited-state electronic properties of the Zn(II)/Pt(II) hexacation [(PtCl(2))(CH(3))(6)LZn](6+) in water solution were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) methods. TDDFT calculations of the lowest excited states of [(PtCl(2))(CH(3))(6)LZn](6+) in water provided an accurate description of the Q-band spectral region. In particular, the calculated optical spectra were in agreement with the experimental ones, obtained in the presence of micelles favoring complete disruption of the aggregates. The model for dsDNA binding that emerges from the analysis of UV-vis absorption and time-resolved fluorescence data shows the presence of complexes of 1 dsDNA molecule with 1, 2, and 4 macrocycles. Comparing the results for the hexacation [(PtCl(2))(CH(3))(6)LZn](6+) with those for the [(CH(3))(8)LZn](8+)octacation, we observed a higher degree of monomerization for the [(PtCl(2))(CH(3))(6)LZn](6+) derivative.

Abstract
Several chlorido and amino Pt(2+) complexes of 2-hydroxy-3-(aminomethyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone Mannich bases HL exhibiting moderate to high cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines were studied in order to investigate their modes of DNA binding, in vitro DNA strand breaks, mechanism of topoisomerase (Topo I) inhibition and cellular accumulation. DNA model base studies have shown that complex 1a [Pt(HL1)Cl(2)] was capable of binding covalently to 9-ethylguanine (9-EtG) and 5'-GMP. (1)H NMR and mass spectrometry studies have shown that both chlorides were substituted by 9-EtG ligands, whereas 5'-GMP was able to replace only one chlorido ligand, due to steric hindrance. The chlorido Pt(2+) complexes [Pt(HL)Cl(2)] highly accumulate in prostate (PC-3) and melanoma (MDA-MB-435) cell lines, being able to induce DNA strand breaks in vitro and inhibit Topo I by a catalytic mode. On the other hand, the free 2-hydroxy-3-(aminomethyl)-1,4-naphthoquinones HL and the amino Pt(2+) complexes [Pt(L(-))(NH(3))(2)]NO(3) neither cause DNA strand breakage nor exhibit strong DNA interaction, nevertheless the latter were also found to be catalytic inhibitors of Topo I at 100μM. Thus, coordination of the Mannich bases HL to the "PtCl(2)" fragment substantially affects the chemical and biophysical properties of the pro-ligands, leading to an improvement of their DNA binding properties and generating compounds that cleave DNA and catalytically inhibit Topo I. Finally, the high cytotoxicity exhibited by the free (uncomplexed) 2-hydroxy-3-(aminomethyl)-1,4-naphthoquinones might be associated with their decomposition in solution, which is not observed for the Pt(2+) complexes.

Abstract
The sequence selectivity of the DNA binding of the phenazinium dyes phenosafranin and safranin O have been investigated with four sequence-specific deoxyribopolynucleotides from spectroscopic and calorimetric studies. The alternating guanine-cytosine sequence selectivity of the dyes has been revealed from binding affinity values, circular dichroism, thermal melting, competition dialysis, and calorimetric results. The binding affinities of both the dyes to the polynucleotides were of the order of 10(5) M(-1), but the values were higher for the guanine-cytosine polynucleotides over adenine-thymine ones. Phenosafranin had a higher binding affinity compared to safranin O. Isothermal titration calorimetric studies revealed that the binding reactions were exothermic and favored by negative enthalpy and predominantly large positive entropy contributions in all cases except poly(dA)·poly(dT) where the profile was anomalous. Although charged, nonpolyelectrolytic contribution was revealed to be dominant to the free energy of binding. The negative heat capacity values obtained from the temperature dependence of enthalpy changes, which were higher for phenosafranin compared to safranin O, suggested significant hydrophobic contribution to the binding process. In aggregate, the data presents evidence for the alternating guanine-cytosine base pair selectivity of these phenazinium dyes and a stronger binding of phenosafranin over safranin O.
