Abstract
- In this article we have presented the synthesis, chemical characterisation (by NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction), electrochemistry, and DNA binding studies (with cyclic voltammetry, viscometry, and UV-vis spectroscopy) of six new ferrocene incorporated selenoureas. All the six compounds interact electrostatically with DNA which was evident by a negative shift in the cyclic voltammetry peak potential of the drug–DNA adduct relative to the free drug. The drug–DNA binding constant was calculated by a decrease in peak current after the addition of DNA to the free drug. We have also reported binding site sizes and diffusion coefficients of the synthesised compounds.
