šŸ“š Thesis Title:
ā€œStudies on Hydroxamic Acid Metal Complexes as Nucleic Acid Binder and Enzymatic Inhibitorsā€
Mentor: Prof. Rama Pande

šŸ” Research Overview:
The thesis investigates the biological properties of Hydroxamic acid-Metal complexes, focusing on their binding with nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) and enzymatic inhibition. This pioneering study utilized various techniques including UV-Visible Spectroscopy, Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Viscosity measurements, and Molecular Docking with Hex and AutoDock software.

🧬 Key Findings:

  • Nucleic Acid Binding:
    • Five Hydroxamic acid-Metal complexes were studied for their nucleic acid binding parameters.
    • Four complexes were identified as Minor groove binders and one as a Major groove binder.
  • Molecular Docking:
    • Molecular docking analyses (using Hex and AutoDock) complemented experimental results.
    • All five complexes successfully docked into the enzyme HDAC 8, demonstrating efficient binding.
  • Cytotoxicity Studies:
    • Cytotoxicity against MCF-7 Breast Cancer cells was conducted.
    • The Copper-Hydroxamic acid complex emerged as the most effective molecule.

šŸ”¬ Techniques Used:

  • Spectroscopy: UV-Visible, Fluorescence
  • Viscosity Techniques
  • Molecular Docking: Hex, AutoDock
  • Cytotoxicity Assays

🧪 Implications:
The research provides crucial insights into the binding modes of Hydroxamic acid-Metal complexes with nucleic acids and enzymes. It highlights the potential of these complexes, particularly the Copper-Hydroxamic acid complex, for further in-vivo analysis and therapeutic applications.
