Two new isostructural coordination compounds of cobalt(II) and zinc(II) involving 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylate have been synthesized and characterized, showing strong cooperative pi-stacking interactions and significant cytotoxicity in cancer cells with negligible effects on normal cells. Molecular docking studies establish the structure-activity relationship of the compounds, contributing to potential therapeutic applications.
Two new isostructural coordination compounds of cobalt(ii) and zinc(ii) involving 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylate, viz., [Co(2,5-PDC)(phen)(2)]center dot 9H(2)O (1) and [Zn(2,5-PDC)(phen)(2)]center dot 9H(2)O (2) (in which, PDC = pyridine dicarboxylate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterised using FT-IR, electronic spectroscopy, thermal analysis, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Crystal structure analysis reveals that the neighboring monomeric units of 1 and 2 are self-assembled via pi-stacking, C-HMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS pi and C-HMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISO interactions. Fascinating and unusual discrete (H2O)(21) clusters in 2 stabilize the network architecture. The self-assembled enclathration of water clusters in the hexameric supramolecular host cavity of 1 provides additional reinforcement to the crystal structure. The strength of the biologically relevant cooperative pi-stacking interactions for 1 and 2 has been investigated using DFT calculations and analyzed using an NCI plot index. Remarkably, the (pi-pi)(1) binding modes in the ternary pi-stacked assemblies are energetically more significant than the (pi-pi)(2) mode due to the contribution of the two symmetrically related C-HMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISO interactions. The large and almost identical dipole moments of the compounds nullify the influence of the metal centers on the strength of the cooperative pi-stacked assemblies, and this corroborates the strong binding energies. The compounds significantly induce concentration dependent cell cytotoxicity and apoptosis in DL cancer cells with negligible cytotoxicity in normal cells. The molecular docking study and pharmacophore features establish the structure activity relationship (SAR) of the compounds.
