Abstract Planar triazinium cationic species from vanadyl-assisted cyclization of 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol (H-TAN, ), 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (H-PAN, ), 2-(2'-thiazolylazo)-p-cresol (H-TAC, ) and 6-(2'-thiazolylazo)-resorcinol (H-TAR, ) were prepared and characterized. A dioxovanadium(v) species [VO(TAR)] () was also isolated. Compounds , and were structurally characterized. Both and have planar structures. Complex has VON coordination geometry. The cyclised triazinium compound forms a radical species within -0.06 to -0.29 V vs. SCE in DMF-0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate with a second response due to formation of an anionic species. A confocal microscopic study showed higher nuclear uptake for having a fused thiazole moiety than with a fused pyridine ring. The compounds showed a partial intercalative mode of binding to calf thymus DNA. Compound showed plasmid DNA photo-cleavage activity under argon and photocytotoxicity in HeLa and MCF-7 cells with IC values of 15.1 and 3.4 μM respectively in visible light of 400-700 nm, while being essentially non-toxic in the dark with IC values of 90.4 and 21.9 μM. A TDDFT study was done to rationalize the experimental data.
