Two isomeric salicylic aldehyde nucleobases have been prepared and incorporated into various DNA duplexes. Reaction with ethylenediamine leads to formation of the well-known salen ligand inside the DNA double helix. Addition of transitionmetal ions such as Cu2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Fe2+, or VO2+ results in the formation of metal-salen-base-pair complexes, which were studied by using UV and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. HPLC and ESI mass spectrometric measurements reveal an unusually high stability of the DNA-metal system. These metal-salen complexes act as interstrand cross-links and thereby lead to a strong stabilization of the DNA duplexes, as studied by thermal de- and renaturing experiments. Complex formation is strong enough to override sequence information even when the preorganization of the ligand precursors is unfavorable and the DNA duplex is distorted by the metal complexation. Furthermore, melting-point studies show that the salen complex derived from ligand 2 fits better into the DNA duplex, in accordance with results obtained from the crystal structure of the corresponding copper-salen complex 8.
