Abstract
Development of bioactive candidates for cancer and bacterial infections are ever demanding challenges due to the resistance shown by these cancer and bacterial cells for already exposed drug molecules. Methyl carbazate derivatized phenanthroline compound 6-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)diazen-1-yl]-1,10-phenanthroline-5-one (MCDPO) is synthesized in a three step reaction from 1,10-phenanthroline. The spectroscopic features of MCDPO are studied by HRMS, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, UV-visible spectroscopy. The three-dimensional molecular structure of the MCDPO is confirmed by single crystal XRD study. The MCDPO crystallized in a triclinic system P-1 space group with the following unit cell parameter: a = 5.0347(2) Å, b = 10.3509(4) Å, c = 11.8816(4) Å, α = 84.431(3)°, β = 84.172(3)°, γ = 81.380(4)°, and V = 606.92(4) Å3 at T = 133 K. The MCDPO is containing aromatic rings, hydrogen bonding donors as well as hydrogen bonding acceptor groups forming supramolecular molecular arrangements through C-H⋯O, CH⋯N, C-O⋯C, π-π and π⋯C non-covalent interactions. Electrochemical redox and electrochromic features of MCDPO are studied through cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis based spectroelectrochemistry. This compound shows good anticancer activity with IC50 values 1.438, 6.576 and 2.901 µM against 4T1, MCF-7 and PC-3 cancer cell lines respectively. The flow cytometry study on 4T1 cells suggests that the MCDPO promoted cancer cell death by inducing apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. It also induces nuclear fragmentation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which was studied by DAPI, AO, and DCFH-DA based cellular staining studies by fluorescence confocal imaging. The MCDPO also studied for antibacterial activity against Escherichia Coil bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The MCDPO shows minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.39 µg/mL against Mtb which is slightly better than the one of the clinically used drug candidates Ethambutol.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
