Hydrophobicity‐induced DNA, BSA binding, and biomaterial applications of a heteroleptic Cu(II) complex

“…That is why significant interest had been developed during the few past decades to design heteroleptic complexes with 2,2 0bipyridine and its derivatives. [16,17] Copper(II) heteroleptic complexes are interesting in coordination chemistry because of their vast applicability for bioinorganic purposes and synthesis of metallodrugs, [18,19] catalysis, [20,21] and magnetism. [22,23] Besides, the interaction study of Cu(II) complexes with DNA plays a significant role in the development of diagnostic or therapeutic drugs, [24][25][26][27][28] because, when metal complexes interact with the DNA, the metal-DNA conjugates will affect replication and transcription of DNA and thereby leading to cell death.…”
