Abstract

To determine the chemotherapeutic and pharmacokinetic aspects of an ytterbium complex containing 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me2Phen), in vitro binding studies were carried out with FS-DNA/BSA by employing multiple biophysical methods and a molecular modeling study. There are different techniques including absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism studies, viscosity experiments (only in the case of DNA), and competitive experiments used to determine the interaction mode between DNA/BSA and the ytterbium-complex. The results showed that the Yb-complex exhibited a high propensity for the interaction of BSA and DNA via hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals forces. Further, a competitive examination and docking study showed that the interaction site of the ytterbium complex on BSA is site III. The results of docking calculations for DNA/BSA were in good agreement with experimental findings. The complex displays efficient DNA cleavage in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, antimicrobial studies of different bacteria and fungi indicated its promising antibacterial activity. In vitro cytotoxicity studies of the Yb-complex, starch nano-encapsulated, and lipid nano-encapsulated were carried out in MCF-7 and A-549 cell lines, which revealed significantly good activity. The results of anticancer activity studies showed that the cytotoxic activity of the Yb-complex was increased when encapsulated with nanocarriers. Based on biological applications of the Yb-complex, it can be concluded that this complex and its nanocarriers can act as novel anticancer and antimicrobial candidates.
