Structural and DNA cleavage of sugar-derived Schiff base ligands and their dinuclear Cu(II) complexes

Neutral dinuclear Cu(II) complexes of Schiff base ligands derived from d-glucose have been synthesized and structurally characterized. These complexes were evaluated for their interaction with DNA, and DNA cleavage was observed even in the presence of radical inhibitors.
