Abstract

1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-dione and l-tyrosine methyl ester react to form phenanthroline-oxazine (PDT) from which [Cu(PDT)(2)](ClO(4))(2) and [Ag(PDT)(2)]ClO(4)·2MeOH are obtained. Binding to calf-thymus DNA by Ag(I) and Cu(II) PDT complexes exceed bis-1,10-phenanthroline analogues and the minor groove binding drugs, pentamidine and netropsin. Furthermore, unlike the artificial metallonuclease, [Cu(phen)(2)](2+), the [Cu(PDT)(2)](2+) complex does not cleave DNA in the presence of added reductant indicating unique interaction with DNA.
