Abstract

N-ferrocenylmethylaniline (FA) and its N-acetylated derivative (NFA) have been synthe­sized and fully characterized by various physicochemical techniques such as 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Interactions of FA and NFA with chicken blood DNA were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and molecular docking (MD). The obtained results suggest that both FA and NFA bind strongly via electrostatic interactions to the minor groove of double helix DNA. These electrostatic interactions were evidenced by the findings like a negative formal potential shift in CV and ionic strength effect. The results further show that the binding constants and free binding energies obtained by MD analysis are roughly matched to those obtained from CV. Furthermore, the binding site size was evaluated from voltammetric data.
