Biological interaction of Pt complex with imidazole derivative as an anticancer compound with DNA: Experimental and theoretical studies.

ABSTRACT

This investigation is applied to find out interesting information on DNA binding mode with Pt(II) derivative of two N, N bidentate ligands in treating cancer. Thus, one new water-soluble platinum complex with FIP and phen with a new formula of [Pt(phen)(FIP)](NO3)2 was prepared and specified. DFT data can be used to evaluate geometry parameters. Based on the ADMET prediction, this complex can be considered a drug-like agent. Cytotoxicity property was evaluated against some human cancerous MCF7, A549, and HCT116 cell lines. Accumulation of Pt complex, cisplatin, and oxaliplatin in each cancerous cell was determined, which is probably related to their lipophilicity and solubility properties. The binding mode of the complex to ct-DNA was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and molecular docking simulation. The viscosity of DNA by different concentrations of EB and Pt complex titration shows Pt complex interacts with DNA via groove binding like the spectroscopic binding result. In the MD study, DNA helix, RMSD, and RMSF analysis showed that DNA stability decreased and that the majority of residues left the initial state. DNA increased residual deviations and flexibility are linked to an increase in its gyratory radius, which is consistent with the findings of the experiments.
