A series of heteroleptic mononuclear copper(II) complexes of the type [Cu(L1-3)(diimine)]ClO4 (1-6) containing three tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine core ligands, ethyl 5-methyl-7-(2-hydroxypheny1)-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate (HL1), ethyl 5-methyl-7-(4-diethylamino-2-hydroxypheny1)-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate (HL2) or ethyl 5-methyl-7-(2-hydroxy-4-nitropheny1)-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate (HL3), and two diimine coligands, 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) have been synthesized and characterized by spectral methods. The geometry of complexes have been determined with the help of electronic absorption and EPR splitting patterns, which suggest four coordinated square planar geometry around copper(II) ion. The lowering of HOMO-LUMO band gap value of complex 4 implies its higher biological activity compared to other complexes. Antioxidant studies revealed that the complexes possess considerable radical scavenging potency against DPPH. The binding studies of the complexes with calf thymus DNA (CF-DNA) revealed groove mode of binding, which was further supported by docking simulation. The complexes 3 and 4 strongly inhibit the topoisomerase I, and also strongly interact with VEGFR2 kinase receptor via TT pi-pi, sigma-rho and hydrogen bonding interaction. Gel electrophoresis experiments demonstrated the ability of the complexes to cleave plasmid DNA in the absence of activators. In vitro cytotoxic activities of the complexes were examined on three cancerous cell lines such as human lung (A549), cervical (HeLa) and colon (HCT-15), and two normal cells such as human embryonic kidney (HEK) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The live cell and fluorescent imaging of cancer cells were observed with acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining assay. All encouraging chemical and biological findings indicate that the complex 4 is a suitable candidate for drug target (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
