Özet

© 2022 Elsevier B.V.This study examines the interaction between pyrimidine nucleoside analogue azacytidine, an anti-leukemic drug, and DNA by employing electrochemical, UV–vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking techniques. In the electrochemical technique, azacytidine and dsDNA interaction was investigated in two different ways: (1) in solution and (2) with a biosensor using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at a glassy carbon electrode. The interaction between azacytidine and dsDNA at increasing interaction times was investigated in line with the changes in adenine and guanine oxidation signals. In addition, interaction studies of polyguanine-azacytidine and polyadenine-azacytidine were performed with DPV. The binding constant values were calculated as 2.420 × 104 M−1 and 3.266 × 104 M−1 at 25 °C using UV and fluorescence spectroscopy, respectively. In conclusion, based on electrochemical and spectroscopic methods as well as molecular docking studies, it was predicted that azacytidine can bind to dsDNA via groove binding.
