Abstract

Coordination of Cu(II) to lincomycin was studied by potentiometry, UV-Vis, circular dichroism (CD), EPR, NMR, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and ESI-MS. Only mononuclear complexes of stoichiometries ranging from CuL to CuH-3L were found. In the main species present at neutral pH, CuH-2L, lincomycin bonds Cu(II) through both of its nitrogen donors, and a deprotonated oxygen donor at C4 of the sugar moiety. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) of products of 2′-deoxy guano sine (dG) oxidation and agarose gel electrophoresis of plasmid DNA confirmed that lincomycin complexes effectively facilitate dG oxidation by H2O2, but are not able to cleave double-stranded plasmid DNA.
