base pairs) was incubated with various concentrations of Cu(II)
complex for 1 h and then subjected to gel electrophoresis. When
circular plasmid DNA is subjected to electrophoresis, relatively fast
migration will be observed for the intact super coil form (Form I).
Fig. 7 shows gel electrophoresis separation of pUC18 DNA after
incubation with Cu(II) complex with an oxidizing agent, H2O2. No
DNA cleavage was observed for controls in which complex was ab-
sent (lane 1), or incubation of the plasmid with the H2O2 (lane 2).
With increasing concentration of the Cu(II) complexes (lanes 3–8),
the intensity of form I of pUC18 DNA diminishes gradually with
concomitant increase in the form II intensity. At the concentration
of 120 lM, complex 1 almost promotes the complete conversion of
DNA from form I to form II.

5. Conclusions
In summary, [M(LL)]2+ complexes, Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and
Mn(II), have been synthesized and characterized by UV–Vis, IR,
EPR, ESI mass spectra and cyclic voltammetric studies. The interac-
tion between these metal(II) complexes and CT-DNA has been
investigated using UV–Vis, fluorescence, CD, cyclic voltammetry
and gel electrophoresis. The results obtained collectively show that
these macrocylic metal(II) complexes strongly interact with CT-
DNA, by a groove binding mode. The interaction occurrence is sup-
ported by the following findings:
(i) The high value of Kb [(0.35–1.4) ꢀ 105 Mꢁ1], considerable red
shift, and the hypochromism of the UV absorption band
around 410 nm.
(ii) The changes in both the band position and intensities of CT-
DNA in CD spectra.

(iii) The decrease in the fluorescence intensity of EB-DNA solu-
tion during addition of increasing amount of macrocyclic
complexes.
