| Description | Interaction of low molecular weight compounds with DNA is one of general mechanisms utilized for an effective anticancer therapy. The anthracycline doxorubicin is one of the drugs that represent the compound with such effect. In our previous work [Hynek et al., Int. J. Electrochem, Sci. 7 (2012) xx] the electrochemical behaviour of doxorubicin interaction with single stranded ODN by using adsorptive transfer stripping square wave voltammetry was described. This paper is focused on the study of interaction of doxorubicin with double stranded ODNs (dsODNs) using the same technique. Here, we used four dsODNs possessing different primary structuresand observed the changes in their electrochemical behaviour after their treatment with three concentrations of doxorubicin for 5 hours. The changes found are discussed and differences in behaviours of individual dsODNs described and associated with their structure. |
