Copper(II) chelates of three unsymmetrical synthetic analogs of curcumin, namely (2E)-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-5-((E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acryloyl)cyclopentanone(1), (2E)-2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)-5-((E)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acryloyl)cyclopentanone(2), and (2E)-2-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-5-((E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acryloyl)cyclopeantanone(3) have been synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The ligands were in their enolic form and metal complexes have 1:2 metal:ligand stoichiometry. The DNA-binding properties of the ligands and their metal complexes were studied by absorption titrations, fluorescence quenching experiments, and viscosity measurements with calf-thymus DNA. The interactions of copper(II) complexes were higher than that of free ligands. The observed intrinsic binding constants reveal moderate interaction of copper(II) complexes with calf-thymus DNA. The binding involves intercalative mode through non-covalent interactions and produced conformational changes in the structure of DNA. The compounds were investigated for their possible cytotoxic and antitumor activities. All the compounds were cytotoxic towards Dalton's lymphoma ascites cells. It was found that copper chelates are remarkably active compared to free curcumin analogs. Concentrations needed for 50% cell death were 10-22gmL(-1) for copper complexes and 27-52gmL(-1) for curcumin analogs. Copper complex of 2 with two hydroxyl groups in the phenyl ring was most active towards Dalton's lymphoma ascites cells (increase in life span 77.91%). Copper(II) complex of 3, which possesses methoxy groups in the phenyl ring system, showed the lowest activity towards increase in lifespan of tumor-bearing mice (increase in lifespan 60.14%). Copper chelates of all curcuminoid analogs showed a significant reduction in solid tumor volume in mice. [GRAPHICS] .
