Synthesis, spectral characterization and DNA interactions of 5-(4-substituted phenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine scaffolds

Five 5-(4-Substituted phenyl)-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole-2-amines have been prepared and structure of the compounds confirmed by spectroscopy studies. On the basis of spectroscopic studies, confirmed the formation of compounds. The DNA binding affinity of the prepared compounds was undertaken by absorption titration method and increasing the amount of CT-DNA observed hyperchromism or hypsochromism. The binding affinity compounds (except 5) are in the order of 4[13.341 x 10(4) M-1]>3 [8.505 x 10(4) M-1]>2 [3.567 x 10(4) M-1]>1[3.525 x 10(4) M-1]. The ethidiumbromide quenching results indicates CT-DNA was quenched by thiadiazoles via a static quenching mechanism. The DNA cleavage studies of the compounds were carried out in the presence and absence of H2O2 using gel electrophoresis experiment. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
