A potent antitumor Zn2+ tetraazamacrocycle complex targeting DNA: the fluorescent recognition, interaction and apoptosis studies
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
A Zn(2+) tetraazamacrocycle complex (2) bearing three naphthalene moieties has been prepared. Complex 2 recognizes, binds and causes damage to DNA, and shows considerable cytotoxicity against human cervical (HeLa), breast (MCF-7) and lung (NCI-H157) cancer cell lines with a different apoptotic pathway from that of cisplatin.
