Chloro(2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine)platinum(II) chloride dihydrate, also identified as [(terpyr)PtCl]Cl, is a complex of Pt and a terpyridine ligand and a DNA intercalating agent. The characteristic UV-Vis bands of the free [(terpyr)PtCl]Cl compound are modified upon addition to ct-DNA, allowing spectroscopic investigation of this interaction. [(terpyr)PtCl]Cl is demonstrated to retard the mobility of the supercoiled form of pHV14 plasmid in gel electrophoresis and to competitively inhibit the intercalative nucleic acid binding of the Ethidium bromide (sc-203735) dye.
