1,10-Phenanthroline stimulates internucleosomal DNA fragmentation in isolated rat-liver nuclei by promoting the redox activity of endogenous copper ions.

ABSTRACT: Isolated rat-liver nuclei were incubated with a series of membrane-permeable metal-ion-complexing agents and examined for DNA damage. Of the reagents tested, only 1,10-phenanthroline (OP) and neocuproine (NC) were found to induce DNA fragmentation. Agarose-gel electrophoresis of the DNA fragments generated in the presence of OP revealed internucleosomal cleavage, which is widely considered to be a hallmark for the enzymic DNA digestion that occurs during apoptosis. Ascorbate, particularly in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, increased the levels of fragmentation induced by OP. As well as undergoing fragmentation, the DNA from nuclei was also found to contain 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, which indicates attack (oxidation) by the hydroxyl radical. Complementary experiments in vitro involving ESR determinations of hydroxyl radical formation and measurements of DNA oxidation under biomimetic conditions demonstrated that Cu2+, but not Fe3+, forms a complex with either OP or NC (but not the other complexing agents tested) that stimulates hydroxyl radical formation and DNA damage in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and ascorbate. It is therefore proposed that OP in the nuclei incubations binds to Cu2+, which exists naturally in chromosomes, forming a complex that promotes hydroxyl-radical-dependent DNA fragmentation. These findings demonstrate the promotion of hydroxyl-radical-mediated DNA damage by endogenous Cu2+ and, perhaps more significantly, demonstrate that the internucleosomal DNA 'laddering' that is often used as an indicator of apoptosis may also result from DNA fragmentation by non-enzymic processes.

Diaqua-bis-(perchlorato)(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II).

Project description:In the title compound, [Cu(ClO(4))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) atom is coordinated in a square-planar fashion by the two N atoms of a chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and by two water mol-ecules trans to the N atoms. The coordination sphere of the metal atom is augmented by O atoms of two weakly bonded perchlorate anions, thus yielding a strongly distorted CuN(2)O(4) octa-hedral environment. The crystal packing is stabilized by O-H?O hydrogen bonds between the water mol-ecules and the perchlorate anions. In addition, the organic mol-ecules are associated by ?-? stacking inter-actions between symmetry-equivalent anti-parallel non-nitro-gen aromatic rings, with inter-planar distances of 3.543?(2)?Å.

Project description:The title compound, [CuBr(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)][N(CN)(2)], is formed of discrete [CuBr(phen)(2)](+) complex cations and uncoordinated [N(CN)(2)](-) anions (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline). The Cu atom is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry by two phen mol-ecules and one bromide ligand, which coordinates in the equatorial plane at a distance of 2.5228?(4)?Å and lying along with the Cu and the amide N atoms on a twofold rotation axis. The two axial Cu-N distances [1.9926?(15)?Å] are slightly shorter than the two equatorial Cu-N bonds [2.0979?(15)?Å]. The structure is stabilized by a weak C-H?N hydrogen bond, with a cyanide N atom of the dicyanamide ligand as an acceptor, and ?-? inter-actions between nearly parallel phenyl and pyridine rings of two adjacent phen mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.589?(1)?Å], and between ? electrons of the dicyanamide anion and the pyridine ring [N?Cg(pyridine) = 3.511?(3)?Å; C-N?Cg(pyridine) = 80.2?(2)°].

Project description:In the title coordination polymer, {[Cu(CN)(C(12)H(10)N(2))]·0.5C(2)H(5)OH}(n), there are two Cu(I) ions, two 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands and two cyanide ions in the asymmetric unit along with a highly disordered ethanol solvent mol-ecule, which was modelled as being disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.829?(7):0.171?(7) ratio.

Both copper ions are coordinated by an N,N'-bidentate phen ligand and two cyanide ligands, generating distorted tetra-hedral CuN(2)Q(2) (Q = C or N) tetra-hedra. The ?-cyanide ligands link the metal ions, forming a zigzag chain propagating in [001]. The chains are cross-linked by numerous aromatic ?-? stacking contacts between adjacent phen rings [minimum centroid-centroid separation = 3.620?(3)?Å].
