4.1.1. DNA interaction experiments
The concentration of CT-DNA dissolved in a buffer (5 mM tris (hy-
droxymethyl) aminomethane with 50 mM NaCl, pH 7.2,) [C (p)] was
measured at 260 nm (6600 M−1 cm−1) using its extinction coeffi-
cient. [33] The absorption of CT-DNA was also evaluated at 260 nm
(A260) by 280 nm (A280) to verify the purity level. The proportion of
A260/A280 was found to be in the range of 1.8 to 1.9, confirming the
absence of protein with CT-DNA. The absorption titration test was
performed using a range of DNA concentrations (0 to 100 μM) by
keeping constant compound concentration (0.5 μM). The absorption
spectrum was taken for every successive addition of DNA to 2, 3, 6, 7,
10, 11-hexabutoxy-5-methylnaphtho [1, 2, 3, 4-lmn] phenanthridine
(6) and contrast (about 10 min). To achieve the constant of intrinsic
attachment, Kb:
½DNAꢀ=ðεa−εf Þ ¼ ½DNAꢀ=ðεb−εf Þ þ 1=Kb ðεb−εf Þ
ð1Þ
where εa, εf, and εb are the apparent, free, and bound compound extinc-
tion coefficients, respectively. A plot of [DNA]/(εa − εf) versus [DNA]
gave a slope of 1/(εb − εf) and an intercept y equal to 1/Kb(εb − εf),
where Kb is the ratio of the slope to the intercept y.

4.1.2. DNA cleavage experiments
For the gel electrophoresis analysis, supercoiled pUC19 DNA has
been treated with compound 6. The study was conducted in 2 ml quan-
tity comprising pUC19 DNA of 5 μmol/l phosphate solution mixed with
10 μmol NaCl, pH 7.4, with distinct compounds level (25–50 μmol/l).
The sample was mixed with 0.5 ml of 0.25% bromophenol yellow,
0.25% xylene cyanol FF, 30% glycerol, and the sample was then exam-
ined using 1% agarose electrophoresis by submerging the gel in Tris-
borate buffer (1 μmol/l EDTA, 45 μmol/l Tris-borate) and running at
50 V for 2.5 h. The untreated pUC19 DNA was kept as parallel control.
The gel was dyed with ethidium bromide (1 μg/ml) and then
photographed under UV light. [34]
