Solution structure, oxidative DNA damage, biological activity and molecular docking of ternary copper(II) L−argininato complexes

Continuing our search for metal drugs with markedly higher toxicity to cancer cells than to normal cells, we evaluated the effect of 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) as a co-ligand in the compounds [Cu(μ−O,O’−NO3)(L−Arg)(bpy)]NO3}n (1) and [CuCl(L−Arg)(bpy)]Cl·3H2O (2) (L−Arg = L−arginine), on DNA interaction,...
