The hexaaza macrocyclic copper(II) complex Cu(II)L(L=1,8-Dihydroxyethyl-1,3,6,8,10,13-hexaazacyclotetradecane), which has octahedral structure similar to some natural complexes, is synthesized and purified. In this study, oxidative breakage DNA by the reaction of Cu(II)L with H2O2 and ascorbate has been investigated by gel electrophoresis experiments. In electrochemical experiments, the on scDNA-modified glassy carbon electrode(GCE) is cleaved by the Cu(II)L and redox changing of the metal catalyst without adding any other reagents. Above all, the need for concentration of scDNA is much lower than that of gel electrophoresis experiments and the process of the performance is easy. Furthermore, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and A.C. Impedance, which are performed to monitor scDNA cleavage at the scDNA-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), are fast, simple and highly efficient. The mechanism of the damage can be suggested: Fenton.

Aneuploidy that arises during meiosis and/or mitosis is a major contributor to early embryo loss. We previously showed that human preimplantation embryos encapsulate missegregated chromosomes into micronuclei while undergoing cellular fragmentation and that fragments can contain chromosomal material, but the source of this DNA was unknown. Here, we leveraged the use of a nonhuman primate model and single-cell DNA-sequencing (scDNA-seq) to examine the chromosomal content of 471 individual samples comprising 254 blastomeres, 42 polar bodies, and 175 cellular fragments from a large number ( = 50) of disassembled rhesus cleavage-stage embryos.

The synthesis and characterization of two copper(II) complexes containing 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole (PyBIm) are reported with the biological activity of these two complexes and a third Cu(II) complex containing 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (PyBTh). Complex 1, [Cu(PyBIm)(NO3)(H2O)](NO3), is a four coordinate, distorted square planar species with one ligand (N,N), nitrate and water bound to Cu(II). The [Cu(PyBIm)3](BF4)2 complex (2) has distorted octahedral geometry with a 3:1 Py(BIm) ligand to metal ratio.

A series of Cu(II) complexes with ligand frames based on quinoline derivatives appended with a benzothiazole substituent has been isolated. The complexes, Cu(Q(oBt))(NO3)2(H2O)∙CH3OH (1∙CH3OH), Cu(8OHQ(oBt))Cl2∙CH3OH (2∙CH3OH), Cu(8OQ(oBt))Cl(CH3OH)∙CH3OH (3∙CH3OH) and [Cu(8OH1/2Q(oBt))(CH3OH)(NO3)]2(NO3) (4) have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and UV-visible spectroscopies, and elemental analysis. The ligand frame within the set of complexes differs in the substituent on the quinoline ring: complex 1 remains unsubstituted at this position while complexes 2-4 have a substituted OH group.

The efficiency of [Cu(2,2'-bipyridine)2(NO3)]NO3, [Cu(2,2'-dipyridylamine)2(NO3)2], and [Cu(dipicolylamine)2(NO3)2] complexes (complex 1, 2 and 3, respectively) in oxidative DNA cleavage was examined by electrophoresis and linear dichroism (LD). Among the three Cu complexes, complex 1 showed the highest efficiency in super-coiled DNA (scDNA) cleavage in electrophoresis. The presence of tiron, a superoxide radical scavenger, suppressed the reaction almost completely.

The catalytic effect of [M(2,2'-bipyridine)2(NO3)](NO3) (M(bpy)2, M=Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)) on the super-coiled and double stranded DNA (scDNA and dsDNA) was examined by electrophoresis and a real-time detection linear dichroism (LD) technique. Although the Cu(bpy)2 complex effectively cleaved both types of DNA, the other two complexes were inactive. This was explained by the electrochemical properties of the metal complexes.
