Resonance Raman, NMR, and visible spectroscopies, as well as viscosity and equilibrium dialysis studies were used to assess the effect of the N-alkyl substituent of meso-tetrakis(4-N-alkylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin cations on DNA binding. The DNAs studied include the native DNA, calf thymus DNA (CT DNA), the synthetic polynucleotides [poly(dGdC)]2and [poly(dAdT)]2, and the oligonucleotide d(TATACGTATA)2. Both the porphyrins and the metalloporphyrins containing Ni(II) were examined with the N-alkyl = propyl (TPrpyP(4) and NiTPrpyP(4)) and 2-hydroxyethyl (TEtOHpyP(4) and NiTEtOHpyP(4)). The results were compared to those from the parent porphyrins with the N-methyl substituent (TMpyP(4) and NiTMpyP(4)). For almost all the comparisons made, the new porphyrin cations gave results very similar to those for the TMpyP(4) species. The resonance Raman study indicated that for the three DNA polymers all the Ni species were in the four-coordinate form when bound to all three polymers. It is suggested that both TPrpyP(4) and TEtOHpyP(4) bind to GC regions of DNA in the same intercalative manner as TMpyP(4) with the N-alkyl substituent extended into the solvent. For AT regions of DNA, the binding of TPrpyP(4) and TEtOHpyP(4) is nonintercalative, as found previously for TMpyP(4). The NiTPrpy(4) and NiTEtOHpyP(4) cations bind to these polymers in a similar manner to the apo-porphyrins. The similar Raman spectral changes for the three Ni porphyrins upon addition of [poly(dAdT)]2suggest that partial intercalation is not occurring because models indicate that it would be difficult to accommodate the bulkier N-alkyl substituents.
