Abstract
Metal complexes of the type [Ni(LC)2(X)2], 1 and 2, [Co(LC)2(X)2], 3 and 4 (LC: lidocaine, X Combining double low line dca (dicyanamide), 1 and 3, X Combining double low line NCS-, 2 and 4) have been synthesized and characterized. The geometries of 1-4 were confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The complexes are water soluble and stable in aqueous solution. The interaction of 1-4 with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using UV-visible and fluorescence spectrophotometric methods. A gel electrophoresis assay demonstrated that the complexes cleave pUC19 plasmid DNA. The in vitro free radical scavenging, antimicrobial activity and cytotoxic potential of all the complexes were examined.
