Abstract

The interaction between ibuprofen-Zn(II) complex and calf thymus DNA in physiological buffer (pH 7.4) was studied with the use of Hoechst 33258 and methylene blue dyes as spectral probes by multi-spectroscopic techniques, and viscosity measurements. It was found that ibuprofen-Zn(II) complex molecules could bind with DNA via groove binding mode as evidenced by: i- DNA binding constant (K
