Abstract
Lead ions can bind to DNA via nonelectrostatic interactions and hence alter its structure, which may be related to their adverse effects. The dynamics of Pb2+-DNA interaction has not been well understood. In this study, we report the monomolecular dynamics of the Pb2+-DNA interaction using a magnetic tweezers (MT) setup. We found that lead cations could induce DNA compaction at ionic strengths above 1 μM, which was also confirmed by morphology characterization. The chelation behavior of the Pb2+-DNA and the Cd2+-DNA complex solutions after adding EDTA were compared. The results showed that EDTA chelated with the bound metal ions on DNA and consequently led to restoring the DNA to its original length but with different restoration speeds for the two solutions. The fast binding dynamics and the slower chelation dynamics of the Pb2+ scenario compared to that of Cd2+ suggested that Pb2+ was more capable to induce DNA conformational change and that the Pb2+-DNA complex was more stable than the Cd2+-DNA complex. The stronger affinities for DNA bases and the inner binding of lead cations were two possible causes of the dynamics differences. Three agents, including EDTA, sodium gluconate, and SDBS, were used to remove the bound lead ions on DNA. It was shown that EDTA was the most efficient, and sodium gluconate could not fully restore DNA from its compact state. We concluded that both EDTA and SDBS were good candidates to restore the Pb2+-bound DNA to its original state.

Abstract
Silver nanomaterials have become important research topics in recent years. As a new type of fluorescent material, silver nanomaterials have been applied to fluorescent sensors, bioimaging and materials targeting cancer cells. Here, an approach to the oligonucleotide‐templated controllable formation of fluorescent Ag nanomaterials is reported. In this experiment, silver nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesised from oligonucleotides chains, sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) by changing the molar ratio of DNA to sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and silver nitrate (AgNO3). Fluorescent assay and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterise the silver NPs. The optimal selection of DNA chains with different lengths as templates for the synthesis of silver NPs was found. This work successfully develops the capping oligonucleotides scaffolds of silver nanoclusters.

Mononuclear silver(I) complexes with 1,7-phenanthroline as potent inhibitors of Candida growth. Eur J Med Chem 2018; 156:760-773. [PMID: 30053719 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2018.07.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2018] [Revised: 05/11/2018] [Accepted: 07/17/2018] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Mononuclear silver(I) complexes with 1,7-phenanthroline (1,7-phen), [Ag(NO3-O,O') (1,7-phen-N7)2] (1) and [Ag(1,7-phen-N7)2]X, X = ClO4- (2), CF3SO3- (3), BF4- (4) and SbF6- (5) were synthesized and structurally characterized by NMR (1H and 13C), IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The crystal structures of 1, 3 and 4 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In all these complexes, 1,7-phen coordinates to the Ag(I) ion in a monodentate fashion via the less sterically hindered N7 nitrogen atom. The investigation of the solution stability of 1-5 in DMSO revealed that they are sufficiently stable in this solvent at room temperature. Complexes 1-5 showed selectivity towards Candida spp. in comparison to bacteria, effectively inhibiting the growth of four different Candida species with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) between 1.2 and 11.3 μM. Based on the lowest MIC values and the lowest cytotoxicity against healthy human fibroblasts with selectivity index of more than 30, the antifungal potential was examined in detail for the complex 1. It had the ability to attenuate C. albicans virulence and to reduce epithelial cell damage in the cell infection model. Induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) response has been detected in C. albicans, with fungal DNA being one of the possible target biomolecules. The toxicity profile of 1 in the zebrafish model (Danio rerio) revealed improved safety and activity in comparison to that of clinically utilized silver(I) sulfadiazine.
