Abstract
Five novel styrylnaphthyridine derivatives were synthesized and shown to operate as photoswitchable, selective ligands for abasic site-containing DNA (AP-DNA), which is an important therapeutic and diagnostic target. These compounds associate with AP-DNA with binding constants of 0.5-8.4×104 M-1 as shown by photometric and fluorimetric titrations. Specifically, these ligands bind preferentially to AP-DNA relative to regularly paired duplex DNA. As a special feature, the association of these ligands with DNA can be controlled by means of a reversible [2+2] photocycloaddition. Upon irradiation at 420 nm the photodimer is formed, which does not bind to AP-DNA. In turn, the naphthyridine is regained with excitation at 315 nm. Most notably, this photoinduced deactivation and release of the DNA ligand can be performed in situ in the presence of AP-DNA, thus providing a tool for on-demand delivery of a DNA binder. Overall, these results provide a promising starting point for the development of functional AP-DNA ligands whose bioactivity can be modulated by light with local and temporal control.

Abstract
Dimethyllumazine (DML)-thiazole orange (TO) conjugates were developed for fluorescence sensing of thymine glycol (Tg)-containing DNAs based on the selective recognition of the A nucleobase opposite the Tg residue. Additionally, this conjugate has demonstrated an inhibitory activity towards endonuclease III, a DNA repair enzyme, through its competitive binding to Tg-containing DNAs.

Dayanidhi PD, Vaidyanathan VG. Understanding the ancillary ligand effect on luminescent cyclometalated Ir(III) complex as a reporter for 2-acetylaminofluorene DNA(AAF-dG) adduct. J Biol Inorg Chem 2021; 27:189-199. [PMID: 34843001 DOI: 10.1007/s00775-021-01920-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Mutagenic agents such as aromatic amines undergo metabolic activation and produce DNA adducts at C8 position of guanine bases. N-2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) generates different mutational outcomes when placed at G1, G2, and G3 of a NarI sequence (-G1G2CG3CC/T-). These outcomes are dictated by the conformations adopted by these adducts. Detection of such lesions is of considerable interest owing to their hazardous effects. Here, we report the synthesis of three cyclometalated [Ir(L)2dppz]+ complexes (L = 2-phenylpyridine (ppy) 1; benzo[h]quinoline (bhq) 2; 2-phenylquinoline (pq) 3; dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) and their interaction with AAF adducted NarI DNA. Remarkably, complexes 1 and 2 displayed dominant 3LC transition characteristic of polar environment despite binding to the adducted sites. On the other hand, complex 3 binds to NarI sequences and behaves as a luminescent reporter for AAF-modified DNA. The results reported here emphasize that molecular light switching phenomenon can be stimulated by switching ancillary ligands and might act as potential probes for covalent-DNA defects.

Abstract
Three tris-heteroleptic mononuclear Ru(II) complexes with dual fluorescence and phosphorescence-[Ru(dpma)(bpy)(phen)]2+ (12+), [Ru(dpma)(bpy)(dppz)]2+ (22+), and [Ru(dpma)(phen)(dppz)]2+ (32+)-have been designed and used as ratiometric light-response probes for DNA, where dpma is di(pyrid-2-yl)(methyl)-amine, bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine, phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, and dppz is dipyridophenazine, respectively. Single crystals of complex 2(PF6)2 have been obtained and studied by X-ray analysis. The interactions of these complexes with different DNAs are investigated by means of spectroscopic methods, viscosity measurements, and molecular modeling. In the presence of calf thymus DNA, complexes 2(PF6)2 and 3(PF6)2 show the emergence of a new lower-energy phosphorescence emission band; meanwhile, the higher-energy fluorescence emission band is essentially unchanged, functioning as an intrinsic internal reference. These two complexes exhibit stronger preference for calf thymus DNA over single-strand DNA (d(A)16 and d(C)16). In contrast, no binding interaction between 1(PF6)2 and calf thymus DNA is observed. The intrinsic binding constants (Kb) of 2(PF6)2 and 3(PF6)2 with calf thymus DNA are determined to be (1.4 ± 0.4) × 105 and (9.5 ± 0.15) × 104 M-1, respectively. In addition, these spectroscopic results are compared with those of the prototype complex [Ru(bpy)2(dppz)]2+ (42+), and density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory calculations are employed to elucidate these experimental findings.
