Medicinal Inorganic Chemistry has provided oncology with metallodrugs for cancer treatment, including several promising candidate drugs. In particular, copper(II) coordination compounds phenanthroline stand out as potential anticancer agents. this work, we used Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Electron Spin Resonance to investigate the interaction of copper complexes [Cu(phen)]2+ [Cu(L-dipeptide)(phenanthroline) (L-dipeptide: L-Ala-Gly L-Ala-Phe)) model lipid membranes (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, DPPC, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol) sodium salt, DPPG). Our results showed that interact membrane models, fluidizing them. The presented a different localization than free ligand phen. dipeptide modulated complex in modifications induced physicochemical properties vesicles. A stronger DPPG anionic was observed, which mimic negatively charged surfaces, found on tumor cells.
