The DNA-cleavage properties of the two copper(ii) complexes, [Cu(mbpzbpy)Br2](H2O)2.5 (1) and [Cu(mpzbpya)Cl](CH3OH) (2), obtained from the ligands 6,6′-bis(3,5-dimethyl-N-pyrazolmethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine) (mbpzbpy) and 6′-(3,5-dimethyl-N-pyrazolmethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine-6-carboxylic acid) (Hmpzbpya), respectively, are reported. Upon coordination to Cu II chloride in methanol, one arm of the ligand mbpzbpy is hydrolyzed to form mpzbpya. Under the same experimental conditions, the reaction of mbpzbpy with CuBr2 does not lead to ligand hydrolysis. The ligand mpzbpya is coordinated to a copper(ii) ion generating a CuN3OCl chromophore, resulting in a distorted square-pyramidal environment, whereas with the N 4 mbpzbpy ligand, the CuII ion is four-coordinated in a distorted square planar geometry. Both complexes promote the oxidative DNA cleavage of X174 phage DNA in the absence of reductant. The oxidative nature of the DNA cleavage reaction has been confirmed by religation and cell-transformation experiments. Studies using standard radical scavengers suggest the involvement of hydroxyl radicals in the oxidative cleavage of DNA. Although both compounds do convert form I (supercoiled) DNA to form II (nicked, relaxed form), only complex 1 is able to produce small amounts of form III (linearized DNA). This observation may be explained either by the attack of the copper(ii) complexes to only one single strand of DNA, or by a single cleavage event. Statistical analysis of relative DNA quantities present after the treatment with both copper(ii) complexes supports a random mode of DNA cleavage. This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry.
