“…DNA Binding Studies: DNA has been extensively studied as a potential pharmacological target of metalotherapeutics. The DNA binding affinity towards 1 was investigated (Banti et al, 2015;Banti et al, 2016;Chrysouli et al, 2018;Stathopoulou et al, 2021;Kapetana et al, 2022;Banti et al, 2023). The DNA-1 complex formation is studied here by (i) viscosity measurements, (ii) absorption titration, (iii) fluorescence spectroscopy and (iv) by the DNA Thermal Denaturation (Banti et al, 2015;Banti et al, 2016;Chrysouli et al, 2018;Stathopoulou et al, 2021;Kapetana et al, 2022;Banti et al, 2023).…”
