·DMF (

) was synthesized and characterized by NMR, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, ESI-MS and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Single-crystal diffraction analysis of ligand
L
revealed the non-planar structure of the ligand with intermolecular π π stacking interaction between naphthalimide moieties. Single-crystal X-ray studies of the complexes evidenced a seesaw geometry around the Cu(
i
) center. A competitive DNA binding and absorption titration study suggests an intercalative mode of DNA binding by complex
1
. The fluorescence study of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with complex
1
revealed a dynamic quenching mechanism. A549 (adenocarcinoma human alveolar basal epithelial cells), MCF-7 (breast cancer cell line)) cell lines were used to assess the cytotoxicity of complex
1
using the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Complex
1
displayed improved cytotoxicity towards cancer cell lines in comparison with cis-platin. The cell accumulation study was investigated by fluorescence microscopy.
Cytotoxicity, cellular uptake of copper(
i
) complexes containing 1,8-naphthalimide conjugates have been investigated. |
