Abstract

The DNA molecule is a target for plethora of anticancer and antiviral drugs that forms covalent and non-covalent adducts with major or minor groove of DNA. In present study we synthesized series of novel Pyrazolo [1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectral data. The selected compounds were studied for interaction with Calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) using electronic spectra, viscosity measurement and thermal denaturation studies. Further, molecular interactions were revealed for compound IIIa and IVa by computational methodologies. The preferred mode of ligand binding with double helical DNA as well as preferable DNA groove were explored by molecular docking in different DNA models.
