Abstract

Three novel Zn(II) complexes of NSAID niflumic acid (Hnif) were prepared and studied, namely; [Zn(MeOH)4(nif)2] (1), [Zn(cyclam)(nif)2] (2) and [Zn(nif)2(tmen)] (3), where nif is deprotonated niflumic acid, cyclam is 1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradecane and tmen is N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamine. The complexes have been characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental and thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. All three complexes contain two deprotonated niflumato anions monodentately coordinated via carboxylato groups. Furthermore, fluorescence binding studies of the prepared compounds with human genomic DNA-EB (ethidium bromide) were carried out, which suggest that all complexes are able to bind to DNA via intercalation. Moreover, from the obtained results it followed that complexes 2 and 3 bind to DNA from the tissue with aortic aneurysm (aDNA) and control (cDNA) with a different strength. Additionally, complexes 1-3 exhibit good binding affinity to human serum albumin with high binding constant.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
