The parent ligands that contain anthracene or phenazine chromophoresshowed a monointercalative mode of DNA interaction (especially the anthracene derivative),with apparent association constants in the order of 104 M 1. The corresponding platinum(II) complexesbind CT DNA through bisintercalation, as established by the significant increase of DNA contour lengthinferred from viscosity measurements, and the association constants are in the order of 105 M 1. Thenaphthalene derivatives, however, exhibit a mixed mode of interaction, which suggests a partial contributionof both intercalation and groove binding for the ligand, and monointercalation in the case of theplatinum(II) complex. Competition dialysis experiments carried out on the intercalative compounds haverevealed a moderate selectivity towards GC DNA sequences for the derivatives containing the anthracenechromophore.
