The binding of small molecules with histone-DNA complexes can cause an interference in vital cellular processes such as cell division and the growth of cancerous cells that results in apoptosis. It is significant to study the interaction of small molecules with histone-DNA complex for the purpose of better understanding their mechanism of action, as well as designing novel and more effective drug compounds. The fluorescence quenching of ct-DNA upon interaction with Berberine has determined the binding of Berberine to ct-DNA with = 9.46 × 10 M. value of ct-DNA-Berberine in the presence of H1 has been observed to be 3.10 × 10 M, indicating that the H1 has caused a reduction in the binding affinity of Berberine to ct-DNA. In the competitive emission spectrum, ethidium bromide (EB) and acridine orange (AO) have been examined as intercalators through the addition of Berberine to ct-DNA complexes, which includes ctDNA-EB and ctDNA-AO. Although in the presence of histone H1 , we have observed signs of competition through the induced changes within the emission spectra, yet there has been apparently no competition between the ligands and probes. The viscosity results have confirmed the different behaviors of interaction between ctDNA and Berberine throughout the binary and ternary systems. We have figured out the IC50 and viability percent values at three different time durations of interaction between Berberine and MCF7 cell line. The molecular experiments have been completed by achieving the results of MTT assay, which have been confirmed to be in good agreement with molecular modeling studies.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

The interaction of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with medicinally significant small molecules has long piqued the interest of researchers because its applications are directly related to the discovery of new classes of drugs. Keeping this in mind, here we report berberine derivatives and their interaction with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA). In this report we discussed on the structural perspectives and thermodynamic characteristics of the interaction of four 9-O-substituted berberines (BRDR1 to BRDR4) with CT-DNA.

The telomeric quadruplex structures formed by the guanine-rich sequences of DNA have emerged as targets for small molecules designed and synthesized to stabilize the G-quadruplexes. This report presents a newly synthesized tyrosine-tethered cyclodextrin derivative and its platinum complex. Their structures are characterized using IR, NMR, and mass spectral techniques.

DNA forms non-canonical Guanine-rich-quadruplex structures that play crucial roles such as maintenance of the telomere, transcription, and replication. Selective binding of small molecular ligands to G-quadruplexes and stabilization of them gain importance in the control of cell proliferation and development of therapeutics. In this paper, we report the synthesis of a tryptophan-β-cyclodextrin complex and its platinum complex.

Article Synopsis
- Eleven new berberrubine and berberine derivatives were created using a copper-catalyzed reaction method that couples berberrubine with arylboronic acids, marking a novel approach in synthesizing these compounds.
- These derivatives were tested for their ability to bind DNA, showing moderate stabilization effects on a specific quadruplex DNA sequence and a light-up effect when they complex with DNA.
- The study also found that the compounds intercalate into conventional (ct) DNA and exhibit specific binding behavior with G-quadruplex DNA structures, confirmed through various spectroscopic techniques.

A phosphate-substituted, zwitterionic berberine derivative was synthesized and its binding properties with duplex DNA and G4-DNA were studied using photometric, fluorimetric and polarimetric titrations and thermal DNA denaturation experiments. The ligand binds with high affinity toward both DNA forms ( = 2-7 × 10 M) and induces a slight stabilization of G4-DNA toward thermally induced unfolding, mostly pronounced for the telomeric quadruplex . The ligand likely binds by aggregation and intercalation with ct DNA and by terminal stacking with G4-DNA.
