Abstract:

A novel dinuclear macrocyclic polyamine Zn(Ⅱ) complex was synthesized from 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane, the structures of the compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The interactions between calf thymus(CT) DNA and these compounds were investigated by fluorometric detection. The fluorescence intensity of the DNA/EB system was decreased to 47.3% of that of the initial system at c(complex 6)/c(DNA)=0.51, which indicates that the dinuclear complex was inserted into the CT DNA. The order of fluorescence quenching values of the DNA/EB systems by these ompounds:dinuclear macrocyclic polyamine Zn(Ⅱ) complexd>dinuclear macrocyclic polyamine ligand>CyclenZn(Ⅱ) complex>Cyclen.
