Synthesis of novel diselenide-linked porphyrin dimers under phase-transfer catalysis condition and their interactions with DNA.

Novel diselenide-linked porphyrin dimers were synthesized under phase-transfer catalysis conditions. The targeted compounds were characterized by (1)H-NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry, UV/VIS and fluorescence spectroscopies, redox-potential measurements, and elemental analysis. The interaction of the title compounds with DNA was studied using UV/VIS, fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies. The relative rates of singlet-oxygen production from the diselenide-linked porphyrin dimers upon photoirradiation were also measured.

[Thermochemical studies on the binding reaction of perseleno diphenyl 2,2'-diformic acid with bovine serum albumin].

The binding of newly compounded perseleno diphenyl 2,2'-diformic acid to bovine serum albumin(BSA) was studied at different temperatures using fluorescence spectrum and UV spectrum. The fluorescence quenching data was analyzed according to Stern-Volmer equation and Lineweaver-Burk double-reciprocal equation. It was showed that this quenching complies better with the charactristic of static fluorescence quenching. The binding constant, thermodynamic parameters, and the binding spot of the compound with certain structure, coming from perseleno diphenyl 2,2'-diformic acid and bovine serum albumin, were obtained. Besides, themechanism of static fluorescence quenching and the quality of binding power were both discussed. The information of the binding mode, the mechanism of its transportation, and some medical theories in human body were offered.
