[摘要]：A new ligand and two ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(bpy)(2)(DNPIP)](ClO(4))(2) 1 and [Ru(bpy)(2)(DAPIP)](ClO(4))(2) 2 were synthesized and characterized. The DNA-binding constants for complexes 1 and 2 were determined to be 2.24 (+/-0.30) x 10(5) M(-1) (s = 1.29) and 6.34 (+/-0.32) x 10(4) M(-1) (s = 2.84). The photocleavage of pBR322 DNA by Ru(II) complexes was investigated. The cytotoxicity of complexes 1 and 2 were assessed against three tumor cell lines. The apoptosis and cellular uptake were studied. The retardation assay of pGL 3 plasmid DNA was explored. The cell cycle arrest was analysized by flow cytometry. The antioxidant activities of the ligand and complexes were also investigated. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
