Four cationic porphyrin–anthraquinone (Por–AQ) hybrids differing in lengths of flexible alkyl linkage, 5-[4-(1-N-anthraquinonon-yl)-l-oxophenyl]-10,15,20-tris(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin triiodide, (l = acetyl, pentanoyl, octanoyl, undecanoyl, designed as [AQATMPyP]I3, [AQPTMPyP]I3, [AQOTMPyP]I3 and [AQUTMPyP]I3, respectively, see Fig. 1), were synthesized and their interactions with DNA were investigated. The results of spectroscopic, denaturation and viscosity measurements suggest that [AQATMPyP]I3 binds to DNA through non-intercalative mode while the other three hybrids with longer links bind via bis-intercalative mode. Ethidium bromide (EB) competition experiment was carried out to determine the binding constants (Kb) of these compounds for CT DNA, and [AQPTMPyP]I3 shows the largest Kb among these hybrids. The photocleavage mechanism and wavelength-dependent cleaving abilities of these hybrids to pBR322 plasmid DNA were also comparably investigated.
Cationic porphyrin–anthraquinone hybrids with different lengths of linkage were synthesized. Hybrids with longer linkages may be sterically appropriate to bis-intercalate CT DNA.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
