摘要

A new Ag-pipemidic acid complex with helical structure has been prepared and structurally characterized by routine technique. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that there are the left- and right-handed helical chains constructed by Ag ions and PPA drugs along the b direction. And two types of helical chains are connected into 2D layer by sharing pseudo-tetra-nuclear clusters, which are stabilized by PPA-1 molecules as scaffolds. UV study of the interaction of the complex with CT-DNA shows that the title complex can bind to the CT-DNA and exhibits the higher binding constant (K-b) than free HPPA drugs. Additionally, its competitive study with ethidium bromide and the relatively high K-SV value also indicates that complex can bind to DNA for the intercalative binding sites.
