Abstract
Two new ruthenium(Ⅱ) complexes containing the same ancillary ligands and different intercalating ligands, [Ru(bim)2(7-CH3-dppz)]2+ (Ru1, bim = 2,2′-biimidazole, 7-CH3-dppz = 7-methyl-dipyrido-[3,2-a,2′,3′-c]-phenazine) and [Ru(bim)2(dppx)]2+ (Ru2, dppx = 7,8-dimethyldipyridophenazine), have been synthesized and characterized in this work, and the interactions of Ru1 and Ru2 with double-stranded RNA poly(A)·poly(U) have been comparatively studied under both dilute and molecular crowding conditions. Analysis of spectral titrations and viscosity experiments as well as thermal denaturation experiments suggests that although complexes Ru1 and Ru2 in both dilute and molecular crowding solutions bind to poly(A)·poly(U) via intercalation, while the binding and stabilizing effects of the two complexes toward poly(A)·poly(U) under molecular crowding conditions significantly decreases in comparision with those in dilute solutions, suggesting that molecular crowding has a significant weakening effect on the interaction of the two complexes with poly(A)-poly(U). The results obtained will contribute to the understanding of the effects of molecular crowding conditions on the binding and stabilization of double-stranded RNA by metal complexes, in particular Ru(II) complexes.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
