Abstract
The new complex of {[Co(4,4′-Bipy)(H2O)4]·(Pyri)·3H2O}n (4,4′-Bipy = 4,4′-bipyridyl, H2Pyri = 3,5- Pyridinedicarboxylic acid) was synthesized and characterized by IR, element analysis and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The binding of the complex with extracted HeLa cells DNA was investigated by UV and fluorescence spectrum. Gel electrophoresis assay demonstrated the ability of the complex cleaving the extracted HC-DNA. The complex exhibited a higher cytotoxicity against tumor cells in vitro. Furthermore, the apoptotic tests indicated the complex had an apoptotic effect on HeLa cells.
Keywords: apoptosis, Cobalt(II) complex, cytotoxicity, gel electrophoresis.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
Role of natural compounds as anti anti-cancer agents
Cancer is considered the leading cause of worldwide mortality, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2022. Cancer outcome can be improved through an appropriate screening and early detection and through an efficient clinical treatment. Chemotherapy remains an important approach in treatment o f several types of cancers, even though ...read more
