Front Cover: Naphthalene Derived Terpyridine Attached Copper (II) Complexes: Effect of Planarity and Steric Hinderance on DNA Interaction (Chem. Asian J. 1/2026)
Abstract
Cancer is the foremost cause of death worldwide, accounting for almost 10 million fatalities in 2020. To cure this, cis-platin and its other derivatives are currently being used, but there are several shortcomings that are associated with them. To overcome this issue, the authors have developed four heteroleptic Cu(II) complexes with mixed ligand systems. All complexes were well characterized and their interactions with DNA as well as their cytotoxicity towards cancer cell lines were studied thoroughly. More details can be found in the Research Article by Somnath Maji and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/asia.202500855).
