DNA cleavage activity of VIVO(acac)2 and derivatives

The DNA cleavage activity of several b-diketonate vanadyl complexes is examined. Vanadyl acetylacetonate,VIVO(acac)2, 1, shows a remarkable activity in degrading plasmid DNA in the absence of any activating agents, air and photoirradiation. The cleaving activity of several related complexes VIVO(hd)...
