The recent COVID-19 outbreak caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has an immense impact on global health and economy. Although vaccines are being used, urgent need of drugs based on natural products with high efficacy and safety is a pressing priority. Quinoline alkaloids are well known for their therapeutic action against malaria; initially, it was tried against Coronaviruses.

Radical scavenging activity against DPPH radical and binding properties of a hydrogen bonded charge transfer molecular salt 4-chloro anilinium-3-nitrophthalate(CANP) with calf thymus DNA has been studied by electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy. The molecular structure and crystallinity of the CANP salt have been established by carried out powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis which indicated that cation and anion are linked through strong NHO type of hydrogen bond. FTIR spectroscopic study was carried out to know the various functional groups present in the crystal.

A single crystal charge transfer (CT) complex, 2-aminopyridinium-4-methylbenzenesulfonate (APTS) was synthesized and recrystallized by slow solvent evaporation solution growth method at room temperature. The complex has been characterized with the elemental analysis, UV-visible, infrared (IR), (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were reported the thermal behaviour of the complex.

The structure has been characterized by spectroscopic methods. The electronic spectroscopic experimental evidence strongly showed that the compounds could interact with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) through intercalation with a binding constant value of 1.
