Abstract

New aliphatic cyclic N-substituted glycine derivative, as asymmetric N, O donate bidentate ligand, and its new Pt complex, [Pt(NH₃)₂(pyrro-gly)]NO₃, where pyrro-gly is 1-Pyrrolidineacetic acid were synthesized and characterized. To investigate the hydrolytic properties, solubility, lipophilicity, and stability of both ligand and Pt complex were analyzed. The cytotoxic properties of both compounds were ascertained on normal and cancerous cell lines in comparison with carboplatin. An apoptosis assay was used to follow the mechanism of cell death in cancerous cells. Regarding isothermal titration, hypochromic absorption was seen during DNA-complex interaction. Fluorescence data illustrated that static quenching occurred. Also, binding constants in EtBr and Hoechst systems showed that groove binding accrues during DNA interaction. Based on circular dichroism studies, electrostatic approaches to DNA and then groove binding interaction were proved which are in agreement with viscosity data. In the docking study, the estimated free binding energy for the Pt complex system is more negative than the ligand system in DNA interaction. The molecular dynamics investigation revealed that the system attained equilibrium after a duration of 100 ns, as determined through the analysis of RMSD, RMSF, and Rg. The findings of the RMSF analysis demonstrated that the majority of residues experienced notable shifts from their starting positions. The computed binding free energy of the complex with DNA was found, which suggested a thermodynamically favorable interaction. The analysis of RDF at equilibrium revealed that Thymine and Guanine residues exhibited the most pronounced and least complex distributions, respectively.

期刊介绍： The journal includes papers in the following areas: – Simple organic liquids and mixtures – Ionic liquids – Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces – Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles – Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals – Ferrofluids – Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids – Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts – Molten metals and salts – Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids – Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include: – Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.) – Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.) – Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.) – Dielectric relaxation – X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction. Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
