First, we configured 10 mM Tris-HCl (Zhiyuan, Tianjin, China), pH = 7.4 as the buffer solution, dissolved 1 mg/mL CT-DNA (Solarbio, Beijing, China) in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH = 7.4 buffer solution, and detected the absorbance value of the dissolved CT-DNA solution at a wavelength of 260 nm (ε = 6600 L/M cm). According to the Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law formula:
A = εbc, where ε is the extinction coefficient, b is the optical path length, and c is the solution concentration [42 (link)].
We used 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH = 7.4 as buffer, 90 μM dutomycin, and 120 μM SW91. We added different concentrations of CT-DNA (0–34 μM), diluted to 1 mL with a 1 mL volumetric flask, and detected the UV–Vis spectrum on a Shimadzu UV–Vis spectrophotometer through a quartz cuvette with a 1.0 nm gap width. We scanned the full wavelength using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer to obtain the absorbance curve obtained by gradually increasing the CT-DNA concentration at the same drug concentration.

All chemicals were obtained from commercial sources and used as received. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 3-(4,5-dimathylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) were obtained from Sigma, and CT-DNA was purchased from Solarbio. The Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection kit, ROS assay kit, Ca2+ assay kit and JC-1 assay kits were obtained from BD Biosciences. All buffer solutions were prepared with double-distilled water. The fluorescence spectra and electronic absorption spectra were collected on an RF-5301 fluorescence spectrophotometer and Cary 60 UV-Visible spectrophotometer, respectively. ESI-MS spectra were recorded using a Bruker HCT Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometer. Cell cycle and apoptosis experiments were performed on FACS Aria II flow cytometry (BD Biosciences, San Jose, USA).

1H-NMR spectra were determined with an Agilent Technologies 800/54 premium (Rogowska, Wroclaw, Poland). Elemental analyses were run on an Elementar Vario EL III Elemental Analyzer (Langenselbold, Frankfurt, Germany). IR spectra were recorded on a Nicolet IS10 (Carlsbad, CA, USA). Intensity data of single crystals were collected using an Agilent SuperNova diffractometer (Santa Clara, CA, USA). UV-Vis absorption spectra were performed using a Beckman coulter DU800 (Brea, CA, USA). Fluorescence spectra were recorded on a PerkinElmer LS 55 (Waltham, MA, USA) luminescence spectrometer with a red-sensitive photomultiplier type R928. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra carried out on a Chirascan CD spectropolarimeter (Applied Photophysics, Leatherhead, Surrey, U.K.). All the cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and Tris-HCl buffer, BSA and CT-DNA were obtained from Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Asbio and Solarbio (Beijing, China), respectively. BSA were dissolved in Tris-HCl buffer and stored at 4 °C. The complexes were dissolved in DMSO to prepare stock solution and the solubility of the complexes was 20 mM/mL in DMSO, while the solubility of 5 was 15 mM/mL. All reagents used in the experiments were of analytical grade or purified by standard methods.

CT DNA was commercially obtained from Solarbio Ltd (Beijing, People’s Republic of China). A stock solution was prepared by dissolving CT DNA in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; pH 7.4) and stored at 4°C, of which the sufficient purity was confirmed by the ratio of ultraviolet (UV) absorbance at 260 and 280 nm.33 The concentration of the stock solution was determined by extinction coefficient at 260 nm (6,600 cm−1).34

All of the chemicals and solvents were analytically pure and used without further purification, unless specially noted. Ultrapure water (18.2 MΩ·cm) was used in all of the experiments. CT-DNA was purchased from Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China). The purity of the CT-DNA was checked by monitoring the absorption ratio at 260/280 nm (A260/A280), and the ratio was observed 1.82, which indicated that DNA was fully free of protein [77 (link)]. The concentration of CT-DNA per nucleotide phosphate was calculated from the absorbance at 260 nm by using ε = 6600 M−1cm−1. Sangon Biotech synthesized the single strand (AT)6 and (GC)6 (Shanghai, China). The double strand ds(AT)6 and ds(CG)6 were annealed from two complementary 12-mersoligonucleotide (AT)6 and (GC)6. The stock solutions of DNA were prepared by dissolving in the 5 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM NaCl buffer (pH 7.2) at 4 °C, and the resultant homogeneous solutions were used.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
