investigation suggests the coupling for binding sites throughelectrostatic attraction or occluded in major and minorgrooves inside DNA Also the bathochromic effect can beinvestigated and explained based on two bases broad surfacearea of perimidine molecules and the presence of planararomatic chromophore which facilitate well binding to-wards CT-DNA -is groove binding leads to structuralreorganization of CT-DNA -is requires a partial dis-assembling or deterioration of double helix at the exteriorphosphate which leads to formation of cavity suitable forentering compounds [47] -e bathochromic feature ob-served is directly proportional to electron withdrawingcharacter for substituents and their position -e bindingconstants (Kb) for the five derivatives were calculated byknown spectral relationships [19] for L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5 as610times104 607times104 675times104 799times104 and880times104Mminus1 According to Hammettrsquos constants (σR)essential correlation against intrinsic constants will beconducted (Figure 7) and the relation verifies the directrelation in between [48]

3 Results and Discussion

31 Physical Properties Essential analytical and physicaldata for ligands and their VO(II) complexes are summarizedin Table 1 All investigated complexes are nonhygroscopic innature having high melting point (gt300degC) -e elementalanalysis proposes 1 2 (HL M) molar ratio as the generalformula for all complexes All complexes are completelysoluble in DMSO or DMF solvents -e conductivitymeasured is 566ndash1422Ωminus1middotcm2middotmolminus1 Such conductivityvalues are attributed to the nonconducting character oftested complexes [29] -is coincides with sulfate anionwhich favors covalent attachment with metal ions inside thecoordination sphere

32 Comparative IR Study -e assignments of all charac-teristic bands for five perimidine ligands and their VO(II)complexes are summarized in Table 2 ](NH) δ(NH)](CN) and ](CO) are the significant functional bands forcoordinating groups which appear in narrow regions ob-served in all derivatives -is may refer to the far effect ofthe aromatic substituent on bond movement inside suchgroups A comparative study of ligands and their VO(II)complexes reveals the following observations (1) lower-shifted appearance of former bands is considered a strongevidence for contribution of CO NH and CN groups incoordination towards two central atoms (2) New bandsappeared at 1368ndash1434 and 1140ndash1179 cmminus1 assigned for]as(SO4) and ]s(SO4) respectively through bidentateattachment [30] (3) Other bands appearing at asymp760 andasymp690 cmminus1 are attributed to δr(H2O) and δw(H2O) re-spectively for crystal water molecules (4) ](M-L) bandsappeared at the low wavenumber region belonging to M-Oand M-N bonds -ese spectral observations suggest a tet-radentate mod of coordination towards two vanadyl atomsAlso the band observed at 966ndash1074 cmminus1 range assigns for](VO) significantly pointing to the square-pyramidalconfiguration [31]

investigation suggests the coupling for binding sites throughelectrostatic attraction or occluded in major and minorgrooves inside DNA Also the bathochromic effect can beinvestigated and explained based on two bases broad surfacearea of perimidine molecules and the presence of planararomatic chromophore which facilitate well binding to-wards CT-DNA -is groove binding leads to structuralreorganization of CT-DNA -is requires a partial dis-assembling or deterioration of double helix at the exteriorphosphate which leads to formation of cavity suitable forentering compounds [47] -e bathochromic feature ob-served is directly proportional to electron withdrawingcharacter for substituents and their position -e bindingconstants (Kb) for the five derivatives were calculated byknown spectral relationships [19] for L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5 as610times104 607times104 675times104 799times104 and880times104Mminus1 According to Hammettrsquos constants (σR)essential correlation against intrinsic constants will beconducted (Figure 7) and the relation verifies the directrelation in between [48]

3 Results and Discussion

31 Physical Properties Essential analytical and physicaldata for ligands and their VO(II) complexes are summarizedin Table 1 All investigated complexes are nonhygroscopic innature having high melting point (gt300degC) -e elementalanalysis proposes 1 2 (HL M) molar ratio as the generalformula for all complexes All complexes are completelysoluble in DMSO or DMF solvents -e conductivitymeasured is 566ndash1422Ωminus1middotcm2middotmolminus1 Such conductivityvalues are attributed to the nonconducting character oftested complexes [29] -is coincides with sulfate anionwhich favors covalent attachment with metal ions inside thecoordination sphere

32 Comparative IR Study -e assignments of all charac-teristic bands for five perimidine ligands and their VO(II)complexes are summarized in Table 2 ](NH) δ(NH)](CN) and ](CO) are the significant functional bands forcoordinating groups which appear in narrow regions ob-served in all derivatives -is may refer to the far effect ofthe aromatic substituent on bond movement inside suchgroups A comparative study of ligands and their VO(II)complexes reveals the following observations (1) lower-shifted appearance of former bands is considered a strongevidence for contribution of CO NH and CN groups incoordination towards two central atoms (2) New bandsappeared at 1368ndash1434 and 1140ndash1179 cmminus1 assigned for]as(SO4) and ]s(SO4) respectively through bidentateattachment [30] (3) Other bands appearing at asymp760 andasymp690 cmminus1 are attributed to δr(H2O) and δw(H2O) re-spectively for crystal water molecules (4) ](M-L) bandsappeared at the low wavenumber region belonging to M-Oand M-N bonds -ese spectral observations suggest a tet-radentate mod of coordination towards two vanadyl atomsAlso the band observed at 966ndash1074 cmminus1 range assigns for](VO) significantly pointing to the square-pyramidalconfiguration [31]

moment values (μeff 165ndash168 BM) recorded for all com-plexes support the proposal of binuclear complexes [33]

34 ESR Spectra ESR spectra (Figure 5 for example) ofVO(II) solid complexes were obtained and investigated toverify the structural forms of them All spectra demon-strated an eight-line pattern which attributes to theanalogous and vertical ingredients g-tensors and hyper-fine (hf ) A-tensors Spin Hamiltonian parameters andmolecular orbital values were calculated and are repre-sented in Table 4 -e analogous and vertical ingredientsare well resolved Nitrogen super-hyperfine splitting is notobserved which points to the presence of single electronin the dxy orbital -e pattern suggests that g and A areaxially symmetric in nature -e factors A and g appear tobe in covenant with the values commonly known forvanadyl complex in the square-pyramidal geometry G

factor which is expressed by G (g minus 20023)(gperpminus 20023) 4 measures the exchange interaction be-tween metal centers In agreement with Hathaway[34 35] Ggt 4 shows negligible exchange interactionwhile Glt 4 is the vice versa An observable reduction ofthe values calculated (171ndash279) proposes strong in-teraction inside binuclear complexes [36 37] -is in-teraction affects the magnetic moment value of complexeswhich suffers observable reduction-e tendency of A11 todecrease with increasing g11 is an index for tetrahedraldistortion (f gA) [38ndash40] -e molecular orbitalcoefficients α2 and β2 are calculated by

by two nucleation processes by distribution and by piling upof layers which are grown It was pointed to that if the rate ofgrowth along the C-axis is fast and a great number of grownnuclei are active across the axis in comparison with verticalto the C-axis the crystals will be extended over patches [45]-e attitude displayed on different crystals may be due to thegrowth along the strongest bond through anisotropy in-cluded in crystal structures When the amount exceeds toa certain limit the result is evolution of plates and rockshapes It is credible to assume that the environmentalconditions change the nature and shape of the morphologyMoreover the rock and plates shaping compounds may haveexcellent activity towards different applications due to theirbroad surface area [46] -e homogeneous morphologyobserved indicates the obtained strict-defined crystals arefree from metal ions on the external surface

36 Fermal Study -e degradation behaviors of all peri-midine compounds and their VO(II) complexes were tested-e proposed degradation insights corresponding to alldecomposition stages are tabulated (Table 5) -e treatedperimidine compounds start their successive decompositionat low temperature (asymp60degC) in three stages A sequencedcomplete degradation of the organic compound wasrecorded with or without carbon atoms residue VO(II)-perimidine complexes display an observable thermal sta-bility for the organic compounds coordinated -e degra-dation stages varied in between three and four stages -efirst degradation process starts at 40ndash80degC temperaturerange which starts with the removal of water molecules andis followed by decomposition of the coordinating ligandVariable residue was proposed with the complexes degra-dation process but all agree with the presence of biatomicmetals An acceptable conformity between calculated andfound weight losses percentage may reflect the exact de-termination of stage borders

37 DNABinding Appling the spectrophotometric titrationmethod the binding mod of perimidine derivatives towardsCT-DNA was investigated Electronic absorption of freshlyprepared solutions was obtained at 25degC over 200ndash800 nmrange with a reference solution for each concentrationScanned solutions include fixed ligand concentration(2times10minus5M) with a regular increase of DNA added -eeffective binding constant for the interaction of the organicderivatives with DNA was obtained based on observablechanges in absorption at 418 420 420 385 and 410 nm forLH LOMe LNO2 L4 and L5 respectively A regular in-crease of DNA amount added to the ligand solution leads tothe bathochromic effect for the significant ligand bandassigned for transition inside interacting groups -is bandis minimized gradually as appeared clearly with the aggre-gated spectra for each derivative -is minimization isfollowed by appearance of the slightly shifted peak (1-2 nm)from the free ligand peak which assigns for the bindingcomplex and suffers a gradual increase in absorbance-is isconsidered as a sufficient indicator of coupled DNA helixstabilization after the interaction process Such an

investigation suggests the coupling for binding sites throughelectrostatic attraction or occluded in major and minorgrooves inside DNA Also the bathochromic effect can beinvestigated and explained based on two bases broad surfacearea of perimidine molecules and the presence of planararomatic chromophore which facilitate well binding to-wards CT-DNA -is groove binding leads to structuralreorganization of CT-DNA -is requires a partial dis-assembling or deterioration of double helix at the exteriorphosphate which leads to formation of cavity suitable forentering compounds [47] -e bathochromic feature ob-served is directly proportional to electron withdrawingcharacter for substituents and their position -e bindingconstants (Kb) for the five derivatives were calculated byknown spectral relationships [19] for L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5 as610times104 607times104 675times104 799times104 and880times104Mminus1 According to Hammettrsquos constants (σR)essential correlation against intrinsic constants will beconducted (Figure 7) and the relation verifies the directrelation in between [48]

(2) Some Log File Parameters Essential log file data aresummarized and presented in Table 7 -e allowed data arevaried in between the free ligands and their complexes dueto the difference in methods used for the treatment Asuitable method used for the organic ligand appeared un-suitable for its VO(II) complex A comparative investigationintroduced the following notices (i) a general reduction inthe charges computed for coordinating atoms (O19 N11 N15and N16) -is is due to their participation in coordinationwith VO(II) atoms (ii) -e computed bond lengthsappearing with four perimidine derivatives are comparablewith each other except for the L3 ligand -is displays theinductive effect of the p-substituent (nitro group) on theelongation of bond lengths attributing to the affectedfunction groups (iii) Oscillator strength values (range 0ndash1)of complexes are commonly minimized than those of theircorresponding ligands -is may indicate the effect of themetal atom (vanadyl) in facilitating the absorption or ree-mission of electromagnetic radiations inside complexmolecules [53] -e values are close to zero and not 1 thismay suggest low excitation energy values needed for elec-tronic transitions (iv) Also an increase in dipole momentvalues of complexes over ligands indicates high polarity ofcovalent bonds surrounding two central atoms except for theL2 complex -is may refer to the significant differencebetween all substituents from the methoxy group which haselectron-donating feature in opposite with the others [54]

382 QSAR Calculations Using the HyperChem (v81)program essential QSAR parameters are calculated andtabulated (Table 8) -is computation gives a clear viewabout some statistics belonging to coordinating agentsLogP value is an indication for the biological feature of the

tested compound by a reverse relation [55] -e values arearranged by the following order L1 (253)gt L4 L5 (231)gt L2 (153)gt L3 (minus164) Partition coefficient (logP) valuesintroduce a distinguish biological activity may appear withthe L3 ligand

383 Docking Computation Simulation technique is a newrevolution process served in different applications Drugdesign is a complicated process that needs significant fa-cilities to establish a view about the expected efficiency ofproposed drugs In last decades the docking computationprocess between the proposed drug (inhibitor) and theinfected cell proteins is the concern in drug industrial re-search AutoDockTools 42 software was used for this ap-proach 4c3p 3bch and 4zdr are the BDP files for breastcolon and liver cancer cell proteins which are used for thedocking process with five perimidine derivatives -eextracted energies over PDB files (a format using theGaussian 09 software) are presented in Table 9 Scanning forthe energy values introduces the following observations (i)there is no interaction observed with the five inhibitorstowards 3bch colon cancer protein (ii) -e degree of in-teraction towards breast colon protein (4c3p) is arranged asL5gt L1gt L2gt L4 while the arrangement towards 4zdr (livercancer protein) is as L5gt L1gt L4gt L3gt L2 -is result dis-plays the priority of L5 and L1 ligands in the inhibition

3 Results and Discussion

31 Physical Properties Essential analytical and physicaldata for ligands and their VO(II) complexes are summarizedin Table 1 All investigated complexes are nonhygroscopic innature having high melting point (gt300degC) -e elementalanalysis proposes 1 2 (HL M) molar ratio as the generalformula for all complexes All complexes are completelysoluble in DMSO or DMF solvents -e conductivitymeasured is 566ndash1422Ωminus1middotcm2middotmolminus1 Such conductivityvalues are attributed to the nonconducting character oftested complexes [29] -is coincides with sulfate anionwhich favors covalent attachment with metal ions inside thecoordination sphere

32 Comparative IR Study -e assignments of all charac-teristic bands for five perimidine ligands and their VO(II)complexes are summarized in Table 2 ](NH) δ(NH)](CN) and ](CO) are the significant functional bands forcoordinating groups which appear in narrow regions ob-served in all derivatives -is may refer to the far effect ofthe aromatic substituent on bond movement inside suchgroups A comparative study of ligands and their VO(II)complexes reveals the following observations (1) lower-shifted appearance of former bands is considered a strongevidence for contribution of CO NH and CN groups incoordination towards two central atoms (2) New bandsappeared at 1368ndash1434 and 1140ndash1179 cmminus1 assigned for]as(SO4) and ]s(SO4) respectively through bidentateattachment [30] (3) Other bands appearing at asymp760 andasymp690 cmminus1 are attributed to δr(H2O) and δw(H2O) re-spectively for crystal water molecules (4) ](M-L) bandsappeared at the low wavenumber region belonging to M-Oand M-N bonds -ese spectral observations suggest a tet-radentate mod of coordination towards two vanadyl atomsAlso the band observed at 966ndash1074 cmminus1 range assigns for](VO) significantly pointing to the square-pyramidalconfiguration [31]

33 Electronic Spectra and Magnetic MeasurementsElectronic transition bands andmagnetic moment values areaggregated in Table 3 UV-Vis spectra were recordedqualitatively in the DMSO solvent to gain smoothly ab-sorption curves Intraligand transition bands appearing at31250ndash38168 25974ndash30769 and 17544ndash19157 cmminus1 areattributed to n⟶σlowast π⟶ πlowast and n⟶ πlowast transitionsrespectively inside variable groups [32] A structural con-densed conjugation of chromophores leads to appearance ofdeep colors for all perimidine ligands -is is accompaniedwith the appearance of the n⟶ πlowast band in the middle ofthe visible region VO(II) complex spectra display intra-ligand transitions suffer shift due to coordination -e ap-pearance of charge transfer bands attributes to O⟶V andN⟶V transitions Also new significant d-d transitionbands were observed at asymp15300 and 12800 cmminus1 assigned for2B2g⟶ 2B1g (E2 υ2) and 2B1g⟶ 2Eg (E1 υ1) respectively-ese bands are attributed to transition inside the square-pyramidal configuration (Figure 4) Reduced magnetic

moment values (μeff 165ndash168 BM) recorded for all com-plexes support the proposal of binuclear complexes [33]

34 ESR Spectra ESR spectra (Figure 5 for example) ofVO(II) solid complexes were obtained and investigated toverify the structural forms of them All spectra demon-strated an eight-line pattern which attributes to theanalogous and vertical ingredients g-tensors and hyper-fine (hf ) A-tensors Spin Hamiltonian parameters andmolecular orbital values were calculated and are repre-sented in Table 4 -e analogous and vertical ingredientsare well resolved Nitrogen super-hyperfine splitting is notobserved which points to the presence of single electronin the dxy orbital -e pattern suggests that g and A areaxially symmetric in nature -e factors A and g appear tobe in covenant with the values commonly known forvanadyl complex in the square-pyramidal geometry G

investigation suggests the coupling for binding sites throughelectrostatic attraction or occluded in major and minorgrooves inside DNA Also the bathochromic effect can beinvestigated and explained based on two bases broad surfacearea of perimidine molecules and the presence of planararomatic chromophore which facilitate well binding to-wards CT-DNA -is groove binding leads to structuralreorganization of CT-DNA -is requires a partial dis-assembling or deterioration of double helix at the exteriorphosphate which leads to formation of cavity suitable forentering compounds [47] -e bathochromic feature ob-served is directly proportional to electron withdrawingcharacter for substituents and their position -e bindingconstants (Kb) for the five derivatives were calculated byknown spectral relationships [19] for L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5 as610times104 607times104 675times104 799times104 and880times104Mminus1 According to Hammettrsquos constants (σR)essential correlation against intrinsic constants will beconducted (Figure 7) and the relation verifies the directrelation in between [48]

perimidines leading to red shift inside electronic transitionsSuch a behavior may clarify the effect of metal atoms(vanadyl) in stabilizing the compounds -is reduction ispreferable in biological attitude of compounds [52] (ii) -eabsolute softness values in complexes were enhanced thanthe ligand values which predicated their high biologicalactivity From calculated energy gaps Hammettrsquos relationdisplays a significant effect of the p-substituent on δE valuesof ligands or their complexes by two reverse features(Figure 9)

(2) Some Log File Parameters Essential log file data aresummarized and presented in Table 7 -e allowed data arevaried in between the free ligands and their complexes dueto the difference in methods used for the treatment Asuitable method used for the organic ligand appeared un-suitable for its VO(II) complex A comparative investigationintroduced the following notices (i) a general reduction inthe charges computed for coordinating atoms (O19 N11 N15and N16) -is is due to their participation in coordinationwith VO(II) atoms (ii) -e computed bond lengthsappearing with four perimidine derivatives are comparablewith each other except for the L3 ligand -is displays theinductive effect of the p-substituent (nitro group) on theelongation of bond lengths attributing to the affectedfunction groups (iii) Oscillator strength values (range 0ndash1)of complexes are commonly minimized than those of theircorresponding ligands -is may indicate the effect of themetal atom (vanadyl) in facilitating the absorption or ree-mission of electromagnetic radiations inside complexmolecules [53] -e values are close to zero and not 1 thismay suggest low excitation energy values needed for elec-tronic transitions (iv) Also an increase in dipole momentvalues of complexes over ligands indicates high polarity ofcovalent bonds surrounding two central atoms except for theL2 complex -is may refer to the significant differencebetween all substituents from the methoxy group which haselectron-donating feature in opposite with the others [54]

382 QSAR Calculations Using the HyperChem (v81)program essential QSAR parameters are calculated andtabulated (Table 8) -is computation gives a clear viewabout some statistics belonging to coordinating agentsLogP value is an indication for the biological feature of the

tested compound by a reverse relation [55] -e values arearranged by the following order L1 (253)gt L4 L5 (231)gt L2 (153)gt L3 (minus164) Partition coefficient (logP) valuesintroduce a distinguish biological activity may appear withthe L3 ligand

383 Docking Computation Simulation technique is a newrevolution process served in different applications Drugdesign is a complicated process that needs significant fa-cilities to establish a view about the expected efficiency ofproposed drugs In last decades the docking computationprocess between the proposed drug (inhibitor) and theinfected cell proteins is the concern in drug industrial re-search AutoDockTools 42 software was used for this ap-proach 4c3p 3bch and 4zdr are the BDP files for breastcolon and liver cancer cell proteins which are used for thedocking process with five perimidine derivatives -eextracted energies over PDB files (a format using theGaussian 09 software) are presented in Table 9 Scanning forthe energy values introduces the following observations (i)there is no interaction observed with the five inhibitorstowards 3bch colon cancer protein (ii) -e degree of in-teraction towards breast colon protein (4c3p) is arranged asL5gt L1gt L2gt L4 while the arrangement towards 4zdr (livercancer protein) is as L5gt L1gt L4gt L3gt L2 -is result dis-plays the priority of L5 and L1 ligands in the inhibition

3 Results and Discussion

31 Physical Properties Essential analytical and physicaldata for ligands and their VO(II) complexes are summarizedin Table 1 All investigated complexes are nonhygroscopic innature having high melting point (gt300degC) -e elementalanalysis proposes 1 2 (HL M) molar ratio as the generalformula for all complexes All complexes are completelysoluble in DMSO or DMF solvents -e conductivitymeasured is 566ndash1422Ωminus1middotcm2middotmolminus1 Such conductivityvalues are attributed to the nonconducting character oftested complexes [29] -is coincides with sulfate anionwhich favors covalent attachment with metal ions inside thecoordination sphere

32 Comparative IR Study -e assignments of all charac-teristic bands for five perimidine ligands and their VO(II)complexes are summarized in Table 2 ](NH) δ(NH)](CN) and ](CO) are the significant functional bands forcoordinating groups which appear in narrow regions ob-served in all derivatives -is may refer to the far effect ofthe aromatic substituent on bond movement inside suchgroups A comparative study of ligands and their VO(II)complexes reveals the following observations (1) lower-shifted appearance of former bands is considered a strongevidence for contribution of CO NH and CN groups incoordination towards two central atoms (2) New bandsappeared at 1368ndash1434 and 1140ndash1179 cmminus1 assigned for]as(SO4) and ]s(SO4) respectively through bidentateattachment [30] (3) Other bands appearing at asymp760 andasymp690 cmminus1 are attributed to δr(H2O) and δw(H2O) re-spectively for crystal water molecules (4) ](M-L) bandsappeared at the low wavenumber region belonging to M-Oand M-N bonds -ese spectral observations suggest a tet-radentate mod of coordination towards two vanadyl atomsAlso the band observed at 966ndash1074 cmminus1 range assigns for](VO) significantly pointing to the square-pyramidalconfiguration [31]

33 Electronic Spectra and Magnetic MeasurementsElectronic transition bands andmagnetic moment values areaggregated in Table 3 UV-Vis spectra were recordedqualitatively in the DMSO solvent to gain smoothly ab-sorption curves Intraligand transition bands appearing at31250ndash38168 25974ndash30769 and 17544ndash19157 cmminus1 areattributed to n⟶σlowast π⟶ πlowast and n⟶ πlowast transitionsrespectively inside variable groups [32] A structural con-densed conjugation of chromophores leads to appearance ofdeep colors for all perimidine ligands -is is accompaniedwith the appearance of the n⟶ πlowast band in the middle ofthe visible region VO(II) complex spectra display intra-ligand transitions suffer shift due to coordination -e ap-pearance of charge transfer bands attributes to O⟶V andN⟶V transitions Also new significant d-d transitionbands were observed at asymp15300 and 12800 cmminus1 assigned for2B2g⟶ 2B1g (E2 υ2) and 2B1g⟶ 2Eg (E1 υ1) respectively-ese bands are attributed to transition inside the square-pyramidal configuration (Figure 4) Reduced magnetic

moment values (μeff 165ndash168 BM) recorded for all com-plexes support the proposal of binuclear complexes [33]

34 ESR Spectra ESR spectra (Figure 5 for example) ofVO(II) solid complexes were obtained and investigated toverify the structural forms of them All spectra demon-strated an eight-line pattern which attributes to theanalogous and vertical ingredients g-tensors and hyper-fine (hf ) A-tensors Spin Hamiltonian parameters andmolecular orbital values were calculated and are repre-sented in Table 4 -e analogous and vertical ingredientsare well resolved Nitrogen super-hyperfine splitting is notobserved which points to the presence of single electronin the dxy orbital -e pattern suggests that g and A areaxially symmetric in nature -e factors A and g appear tobe in covenant with the values commonly known forvanadyl complex in the square-pyramidal geometry G

factor which is expressed by G (g minus 20023)(gperpminus 20023) 4 measures the exchange interaction be-tween metal centers In agreement with Hathaway[34 35] Ggt 4 shows negligible exchange interactionwhile Glt 4 is the vice versa An observable reduction ofthe values calculated (171ndash279) proposes strong in-teraction inside binuclear complexes [36 37] -is in-teraction affects the magnetic moment value of complexeswhich suffers observable reduction-e tendency of A11 todecrease with increasing g11 is an index for tetrahedraldistortion (f gA) [38ndash40] -e molecular orbitalcoefficients α2 and β2 are calculated by

investigation suggests the coupling for binding sites throughelectrostatic attraction or occluded in major and minorgrooves inside DNA Also the bathochromic effect can beinvestigated and explained based on two bases broad surfacearea of perimidine molecules and the presence of planararomatic chromophore which facilitate well binding to-wards CT-DNA -is groove binding leads to structuralreorganization of CT-DNA -is requires a partial dis-assembling or deterioration of double helix at the exteriorphosphate which leads to formation of cavity suitable forentering compounds [47] -e bathochromic feature ob-served is directly proportional to electron withdrawingcharacter for substituents and their position -e bindingconstants (Kb) for the five derivatives were calculated byknown spectral relationships [19] for L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5 as610times104 607times104 675times104 799times104 and880times104Mminus1 According to Hammettrsquos constants (σR)essential correlation against intrinsic constants will beconducted (Figure 7) and the relation verifies the directrelation in between [48]

investigation suggests the coupling for binding sites throughelectrostatic attraction or occluded in major and minorgrooves inside DNA Also the bathochromic effect can beinvestigated and explained based on two bases broad surfacearea of perimidine molecules and the presence of planararomatic chromophore which facilitate well binding to-wards CT-DNA -is groove binding leads to structuralreorganization of CT-DNA -is requires a partial dis-assembling or deterioration of double helix at the exteriorphosphate which leads to formation of cavity suitable forentering compounds [47] -e bathochromic feature ob-served is directly proportional to electron withdrawingcharacter for substituents and their position -e bindingconstants (Kb) for the five derivatives were calculated byknown spectral relationships [19] for L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5 as610times104 607times104 675times104 799times104 and880times104Mminus1 According to Hammettrsquos constants (σR)essential correlation against intrinsic constants will beconducted (Figure 7) and the relation verifies the directrelation in between [48]

by two nucleation processes by distribution and by piling upof layers which are grown It was pointed to that if the rate ofgrowth along the C-axis is fast and a great number of grownnuclei are active across the axis in comparison with verticalto the C-axis the crystals will be extended over patches [45]-e attitude displayed on different crystals may be due to thegrowth along the strongest bond through anisotropy in-cluded in crystal structures When the amount exceeds toa certain limit the result is evolution of plates and rockshapes It is credible to assume that the environmentalconditions change the nature and shape of the morphologyMoreover the rock and plates shaping compounds may haveexcellent activity towards different applications due to theirbroad surface area [46] -e homogeneous morphologyobserved indicates the obtained strict-defined crystals arefree from metal ions on the external surface

36 Fermal Study -e degradation behaviors of all peri-midine compounds and their VO(II) complexes were tested-e proposed degradation insights corresponding to alldecomposition stages are tabulated (Table 5) -e treatedperimidine compounds start their successive decompositionat low temperature (asymp60degC) in three stages A sequencedcomplete degradation of the organic compound wasrecorded with or without carbon atoms residue VO(II)-perimidine complexes display an observable thermal sta-bility for the organic compounds coordinated -e degra-dation stages varied in between three and four stages -efirst degradation process starts at 40ndash80degC temperaturerange which starts with the removal of water molecules andis followed by decomposition of the coordinating ligandVariable residue was proposed with the complexes degra-dation process but all agree with the presence of biatomicmetals An acceptable conformity between calculated andfound weight losses percentage may reflect the exact de-termination of stage borders

37 DNABinding Appling the spectrophotometric titrationmethod the binding mod of perimidine derivatives towardsCT-DNA was investigated Electronic absorption of freshlyprepared solutions was obtained at 25degC over 200ndash800 nmrange with a reference solution for each concentrationScanned solutions include fixed ligand concentration(2times10minus5M) with a regular increase of DNA added -eeffective binding constant for the interaction of the organicderivatives with DNA was obtained based on observablechanges in absorption at 418 420 420 385 and 410 nm forLH LOMe LNO2 L4 and L5 respectively A regular in-crease of DNA amount added to the ligand solution leads tothe bathochromic effect for the significant ligand bandassigned for transition inside interacting groups -is bandis minimized gradually as appeared clearly with the aggre-gated spectra for each derivative -is minimization isfollowed by appearance of the slightly shifted peak (1-2 nm)from the free ligand peak which assigns for the bindingcomplex and suffers a gradual increase in absorbance-is isconsidered as a sufficient indicator of coupled DNA helixstabilization after the interaction process Such an

investigation suggests the coupling for binding sites throughelectrostatic attraction or occluded in major and minorgrooves inside DNA Also the bathochromic effect can beinvestigated and explained based on two bases broad surfacearea of perimidine molecules and the presence of planararomatic chromophore which facilitate well binding to-wards CT-DNA -is groove binding leads to structuralreorganization of CT-DNA -is requires a partial dis-assembling or deterioration of double helix at the exteriorphosphate which leads to formation of cavity suitable forentering compounds [47] -e bathochromic feature ob-served is directly proportional to electron withdrawingcharacter for substituents and their position -e bindingconstants (Kb) for the five derivatives were calculated byknown spectral relationships [19] for L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5 as610times104 607times104 675times104 799times104 and880times104Mminus1 According to Hammettrsquos constants (σR)essential correlation against intrinsic constants will beconducted (Figure 7) and the relation verifies the directrelation in between [48]

by two nucleation processes by distribution and by piling upof layers which are grown It was pointed to that if the rate ofgrowth along the C-axis is fast and a great number of grownnuclei are active across the axis in comparison with verticalto the C-axis the crystals will be extended over patches [45]-e attitude displayed on different crystals may be due to thegrowth along the strongest bond through anisotropy in-cluded in crystal structures When the amount exceeds toa certain limit the result is evolution of plates and rockshapes It is credible to assume that the environmentalconditions change the nature and shape of the morphologyMoreover the rock and plates shaping compounds may haveexcellent activity towards different applications due to theirbroad surface area [46] -e homogeneous morphologyobserved indicates the obtained strict-defined crystals arefree from metal ions on the external surface

36 Fermal Study -e degradation behaviors of all peri-midine compounds and their VO(II) complexes were tested-e proposed degradation insights corresponding to alldecomposition stages are tabulated (Table 5) -e treatedperimidine compounds start their successive decompositionat low temperature (asymp60degC) in three stages A sequencedcomplete degradation of the organic compound wasrecorded with or without carbon atoms residue VO(II)-perimidine complexes display an observable thermal sta-bility for the organic compounds coordinated -e degra-dation stages varied in between three and four stages -efirst degradation process starts at 40ndash80degC temperaturerange which starts with the removal of water molecules andis followed by decomposition of the coordinating ligandVariable residue was proposed with the complexes degra-dation process but all agree with the presence of biatomicmetals An acceptable conformity between calculated andfound weight losses percentage may reflect the exact de-termination of stage borders

37 DNABinding Appling the spectrophotometric titrationmethod the binding mod of perimidine derivatives towardsCT-DNA was investigated Electronic absorption of freshlyprepared solutions was obtained at 25degC over 200ndash800 nmrange with a reference solution for each concentrationScanned solutions include fixed ligand concentration(2times10minus5M) with a regular increase of DNA added -eeffective binding constant for the interaction of the organicderivatives with DNA was obtained based on observablechanges in absorption at 418 420 420 385 and 410 nm forLH LOMe LNO2 L4 and L5 respectively A regular in-crease of DNA amount added to the ligand solution leads tothe bathochromic effect for the significant ligand bandassigned for transition inside interacting groups -is bandis minimized gradually as appeared clearly with the aggre-gated spectra for each derivative -is minimization isfollowed by appearance of the slightly shifted peak (1-2 nm)from the free ligand peak which assigns for the bindingcomplex and suffers a gradual increase in absorbance-is isconsidered as a sufficient indicator of coupled DNA helixstabilization after the interaction process Such an

investigation suggests the coupling for binding sites throughelectrostatic attraction or occluded in major and minorgrooves inside DNA Also the bathochromic effect can beinvestigated and explained based on two bases broad surfacearea of perimidine molecules and the presence of planararomatic chromophore which facilitate well binding to-wards CT-DNA -is groove binding leads to structuralreorganization of CT-DNA -is requires a partial dis-assembling or deterioration of double helix at the exteriorphosphate which leads to formation of cavity suitable forentering compounds [47] -e bathochromic feature ob-served is directly proportional to electron withdrawingcharacter for substituents and their position -e bindingconstants (Kb) for the five derivatives were calculated byknown spectral relationships [19] for L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5 as610times104 607times104 675times104 799times104 and880times104Mminus1 According to Hammettrsquos constants (σR)essential correlation against intrinsic constants will beconducted (Figure 7) and the relation verifies the directrelation in between [48]

by two nucleation processes by distribution and by piling upof layers which are grown It was pointed to that if the rate ofgrowth along the C-axis is fast and a great number of grownnuclei are active across the axis in comparison with verticalto the C-axis the crystals will be extended over patches [45]-e attitude displayed on different crystals may be due to thegrowth along the strongest bond through anisotropy in-cluded in crystal structures When the amount exceeds toa certain limit the result is evolution of plates and rockshapes It is credible to assume that the environmentalconditions change the nature and shape of the morphologyMoreover the rock and plates shaping compounds may haveexcellent activity towards different applications due to theirbroad surface area [46] -e homogeneous morphologyobserved indicates the obtained strict-defined crystals arefree from metal ions on the external surface

36 Fermal Study -e degradation behaviors of all peri-midine compounds and their VO(II) complexes were tested-e proposed degradation insights corresponding to alldecomposition stages are tabulated (Table 5) -e treatedperimidine compounds start their successive decompositionat low temperature (asymp60degC) in three stages A sequencedcomplete degradation of the organic compound wasrecorded with or without carbon atoms residue VO(II)-perimidine complexes display an observable thermal sta-bility for the organic compounds coordinated -e degra-dation stages varied in between three and four stages -efirst degradation process starts at 40ndash80degC temperaturerange which starts with the removal of water molecules andis followed by decomposition of the coordinating ligandVariable residue was proposed with the complexes degra-dation process but all agree with the presence of biatomicmetals An acceptable conformity between calculated andfound weight losses percentage may reflect the exact de-termination of stage borders

37 DNABinding Appling the spectrophotometric titrationmethod the binding mod of perimidine derivatives towardsCT-DNA was investigated Electronic absorption of freshlyprepared solutions was obtained at 25degC over 200ndash800 nmrange with a reference solution for each concentrationScanned solutions include fixed ligand concentration(2times10minus5M) with a regular increase of DNA added -eeffective binding constant for the interaction of the organicderivatives with DNA was obtained based on observablechanges in absorption at 418 420 420 385 and 410 nm forLH LOMe LNO2 L4 and L5 respectively A regular in-crease of DNA amount added to the ligand solution leads tothe bathochromic effect for the significant ligand bandassigned for transition inside interacting groups -is bandis minimized gradually as appeared clearly with the aggre-gated spectra for each derivative -is minimization isfollowed by appearance of the slightly shifted peak (1-2 nm)from the free ligand peak which assigns for the bindingcomplex and suffers a gradual increase in absorbance-is isconsidered as a sufficient indicator of coupled DNA helixstabilization after the interaction process Such an

investigation suggests the coupling for binding sites throughelectrostatic attraction or occluded in major and minorgrooves inside DNA Also the bathochromic effect can beinvestigated and explained based on two bases broad surfacearea of perimidine molecules and the presence of planararomatic chromophore which facilitate well binding to-wards CT-DNA -is groove binding leads to structuralreorganization of CT-DNA -is requires a partial dis-assembling or deterioration of double helix at the exteriorphosphate which leads to formation of cavity suitable forentering compounds [47] -e bathochromic feature ob-served is directly proportional to electron withdrawingcharacter for substituents and their position -e bindingconstants (Kb) for the five derivatives were calculated byknown spectral relationships [19] for L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5 as610times104 607times104 675times104 799times104 and880times104Mminus1 According to Hammettrsquos constants (σR)essential correlation against intrinsic constants will beconducted (Figure 7) and the relation verifies the directrelation in between [48]

(2) Some Log File Parameters Essential log file data aresummarized and presented in Table 7 -e allowed data arevaried in between the free ligands and their complexes dueto the difference in methods used for the treatment Asuitable method used for the organic ligand appeared un-suitable for its VO(II) complex A comparative investigationintroduced the following notices (i) a general reduction inthe charges computed for coordinating atoms (O19 N11 N15and N16) -is is due to their participation in coordinationwith VO(II) atoms (ii) -e computed bond lengthsappearing with four perimidine derivatives are comparablewith each other except for the L3 ligand -is displays theinductive effect of the p-substituent (nitro group) on theelongation of bond lengths attributing to the affectedfunction groups (iii) Oscillator strength values (range 0ndash1)of complexes are commonly minimized than those of theircorresponding ligands -is may indicate the effect of themetal atom (vanadyl) in facilitating the absorption or ree-mission of electromagnetic radiations inside complexmolecules [53] -e values are close to zero and not 1 thismay suggest low excitation energy values needed for elec-tronic transitions (iv) Also an increase in dipole momentvalues of complexes over ligands indicates high polarity ofcovalent bonds surrounding two central atoms except for theL2 complex -is may refer to the significant differencebetween all substituents from the methoxy group which haselectron-donating feature in opposite with the others [54]

382 QSAR Calculations Using the HyperChem (v81)program essential QSAR parameters are calculated andtabulated (Table 8) -is computation gives a clear viewabout some statistics belonging to coordinating agentsLogP value is an indication for the biological feature of the

tested compound by a reverse relation [55] -e values arearranged by the following order L1 (253)gt L4 L5 (231)gt L2 (153)gt L3 (minus164) Partition coefficient (logP) valuesintroduce a distinguish biological activity may appear withthe L3 ligand

383 Docking Computation Simulation technique is a newrevolution process served in different applications Drugdesign is a complicated process that needs significant fa-cilities to establish a view about the expected efficiency ofproposed drugs In last decades the docking computationprocess between the proposed drug (inhibitor) and theinfected cell proteins is the concern in drug industrial re-search AutoDockTools 42 software was used for this ap-proach 4c3p 3bch and 4zdr are the BDP files for breastcolon and liver cancer cell proteins which are used for thedocking process with five perimidine derivatives -eextracted energies over PDB files (a format using theGaussian 09 software) are presented in Table 9 Scanning forthe energy values introduces the following observations (i)there is no interaction observed with the five inhibitorstowards 3bch colon cancer protein (ii) -e degree of in-teraction towards breast colon protein (4c3p) is arranged asL5gt L1gt L2gt L4 while the arrangement towards 4zdr (livercancer protein) is as L5gt L1gt L4gt L3gt L2 -is result dis-plays the priority of L5 and L1 ligands in the inhibition

perimidines leading to red shift inside electronic transitionsSuch a behavior may clarify the effect of metal atoms(vanadyl) in stabilizing the compounds -is reduction ispreferable in biological attitude of compounds [52] (ii) -eabsolute softness values in complexes were enhanced thanthe ligand values which predicated their high biologicalactivity From calculated energy gaps Hammettrsquos relationdisplays a significant effect of the p-substituent on δE valuesof ligands or their complexes by two reverse features(Figure 9)

(2) Some Log File Parameters Essential log file data aresummarized and presented in Table 7 -e allowed data arevaried in between the free ligands and their complexes dueto the difference in methods used for the treatment Asuitable method used for the organic ligand appeared un-suitable for its VO(II) complex A comparative investigationintroduced the following notices (i) a general reduction inthe charges computed for coordinating atoms (O19 N11 N15and N16) -is is due to their participation in coordinationwith VO(II) atoms (ii) -e computed bond lengthsappearing with four perimidine derivatives are comparablewith each other except for the L3 ligand -is displays theinductive effect of the p-substituent (nitro group) on theelongation of bond lengths attributing to the affectedfunction groups (iii) Oscillator strength values (range 0ndash1)of complexes are commonly minimized than those of theircorresponding ligands -is may indicate the effect of themetal atom (vanadyl) in facilitating the absorption or ree-mission of electromagnetic radiations inside complexmolecules [53] -e values are close to zero and not 1 thismay suggest low excitation energy values needed for elec-tronic transitions (iv) Also an increase in dipole momentvalues of complexes over ligands indicates high polarity ofcovalent bonds surrounding two central atoms except for theL2 complex -is may refer to the significant differencebetween all substituents from the methoxy group which haselectron-donating feature in opposite with the others [54]

382 QSAR Calculations Using the HyperChem (v81)program essential QSAR parameters are calculated andtabulated (Table 8) -is computation gives a clear viewabout some statistics belonging to coordinating agentsLogP value is an indication for the biological feature of the

tested compound by a reverse relation [55] -e values arearranged by the following order L1 (253)gt L4 L5 (231)gt L2 (153)gt L3 (minus164) Partition coefficient (logP) valuesintroduce a distinguish biological activity may appear withthe L3 ligand

383 Docking Computation Simulation technique is a newrevolution process served in different applications Drugdesign is a complicated process that needs significant fa-cilities to establish a view about the expected efficiency ofproposed drugs In last decades the docking computationprocess between the proposed drug (inhibitor) and theinfected cell proteins is the concern in drug industrial re-search AutoDockTools 42 software was used for this ap-proach 4c3p 3bch and 4zdr are the BDP files for breastcolon and liver cancer cell proteins which are used for thedocking process with five perimidine derivatives -eextracted energies over PDB files (a format using theGaussian 09 software) are presented in Table 9 Scanning forthe energy values introduces the following observations (i)there is no interaction observed with the five inhibitorstowards 3bch colon cancer protein (ii) -e degree of in-teraction towards breast colon protein (4c3p) is arranged asL5gt L1gt L2gt L4 while the arrangement towards 4zdr (livercancer protein) is as L5gt L1gt L4gt L3gt L2 -is result dis-plays the priority of L5 and L1 ligands in the inhibition

perimidines leading to red shift inside electronic transitionsSuch a behavior may clarify the effect of metal atoms(vanadyl) in stabilizing the compounds -is reduction ispreferable in biological attitude of compounds [52] (ii) -eabsolute softness values in complexes were enhanced thanthe ligand values which predicated their high biologicalactivity From calculated energy gaps Hammettrsquos relationdisplays a significant effect of the p-substituent on δE valuesof ligands or their complexes by two reverse features(Figure 9)

(2) Some Log File Parameters Essential log file data aresummarized and presented in Table 7 -e allowed data arevaried in between the free ligands and their complexes dueto the difference in methods used for the treatment Asuitable method used for the organic ligand appeared un-suitable for its VO(II) complex A comparative investigationintroduced the following notices (i) a general reduction inthe charges computed for coordinating atoms (O19 N11 N15and N16) -is is due to their participation in coordinationwith VO(II) atoms (ii) -e computed bond lengthsappearing with four perimidine derivatives are comparablewith each other except for the L3 ligand -is displays theinductive effect of the p-substituent (nitro group) on theelongation of bond lengths attributing to the affectedfunction groups (iii) Oscillator strength values (range 0ndash1)of complexes are commonly minimized than those of theircorresponding ligands -is may indicate the effect of themetal atom (vanadyl) in facilitating the absorption or ree-mission of electromagnetic radiations inside complexmolecules [53] -e values are close to zero and not 1 thismay suggest low excitation energy values needed for elec-tronic transitions (iv) Also an increase in dipole momentvalues of complexes over ligands indicates high polarity ofcovalent bonds surrounding two central atoms except for theL2 complex -is may refer to the significant differencebetween all substituents from the methoxy group which haselectron-donating feature in opposite with the others [54]

382 QSAR Calculations Using the HyperChem (v81)program essential QSAR parameters are calculated andtabulated (Table 8) -is computation gives a clear viewabout some statistics belonging to coordinating agentsLogP value is an indication for the biological feature of the

tested compound by a reverse relation [55] -e values arearranged by the following order L1 (253)gt L4 L5 (231)gt L2 (153)gt L3 (minus164) Partition coefficient (logP) valuesintroduce a distinguish biological activity may appear withthe L3 ligand

383 Docking Computation Simulation technique is a newrevolution process served in different applications Drugdesign is a complicated process that needs significant fa-cilities to establish a view about the expected efficiency ofproposed drugs In last decades the docking computationprocess between the proposed drug (inhibitor) and theinfected cell proteins is the concern in drug industrial re-search AutoDockTools 42 software was used for this ap-proach 4c3p 3bch and 4zdr are the BDP files for breastcolon and liver cancer cell proteins which are used for thedocking process with five perimidine derivatives -eextracted energies over PDB files (a format using theGaussian 09 software) are presented in Table 9 Scanning forthe energy values introduces the following observations (i)there is no interaction observed with the five inhibitorstowards 3bch colon cancer protein (ii) -e degree of in-teraction towards breast colon protein (4c3p) is arranged asL5gt L1gt L2gt L4 while the arrangement towards 4zdr (livercancer protein) is as L5gt L1gt L4gt L3gt L2 -is result dis-plays the priority of L5 and L1 ligands in the inhibition

perimidines leading to red shift inside electronic transitionsSuch a behavior may clarify the effect of metal atoms(vanadyl) in stabilizing the compounds -is reduction ispreferable in biological attitude of compounds [52] (ii) -eabsolute softness values in complexes were enhanced thanthe ligand values which predicated their high biologicalactivity From calculated energy gaps Hammettrsquos relationdisplays a significant effect of the p-substituent on δE valuesof ligands or their complexes by two reverse features(Figure 9)

(2) Some Log File Parameters Essential log file data aresummarized and presented in Table 7 -e allowed data arevaried in between the free ligands and their complexes dueto the difference in methods used for the treatment Asuitable method used for the organic ligand appeared un-suitable for its VO(II) complex A comparative investigationintroduced the following notices (i) a general reduction inthe charges computed for coordinating atoms (O19 N11 N15and N16) -is is due to their participation in coordinationwith VO(II) atoms (ii) -e computed bond lengthsappearing with four perimidine derivatives are comparablewith each other except for the L3 ligand -is displays theinductive effect of the p-substituent (nitro group) on theelongation of bond lengths attributing to the affectedfunction groups (iii) Oscillator strength values (range 0ndash1)of complexes are commonly minimized than those of theircorresponding ligands -is may indicate the effect of themetal atom (vanadyl) in facilitating the absorption or ree-mission of electromagnetic radiations inside complexmolecules [53] -e values are close to zero and not 1 thismay suggest low excitation energy values needed for elec-tronic transitions (iv) Also an increase in dipole momentvalues of complexes over ligands indicates high polarity ofcovalent bonds surrounding two central atoms except for theL2 complex -is may refer to the significant differencebetween all substituents from the methoxy group which haselectron-donating feature in opposite with the others [54]

382 QSAR Calculations Using the HyperChem (v81)program essential QSAR parameters are calculated andtabulated (Table 8) -is computation gives a clear viewabout some statistics belonging to coordinating agentsLogP value is an indication for the biological feature of the

tested compound by a reverse relation [55] -e values arearranged by the following order L1 (253)gt L4 L5 (231)gt L2 (153)gt L3 (minus164) Partition coefficient (logP) valuesintroduce a distinguish biological activity may appear withthe L3 ligand

383 Docking Computation Simulation technique is a newrevolution process served in different applications Drugdesign is a complicated process that needs significant fa-cilities to establish a view about the expected efficiency ofproposed drugs In last decades the docking computationprocess between the proposed drug (inhibitor) and theinfected cell proteins is the concern in drug industrial re-search AutoDockTools 42 software was used for this ap-proach 4c3p 3bch and 4zdr are the BDP files for breastcolon and liver cancer cell proteins which are used for thedocking process with five perimidine derivatives -eextracted energies over PDB files (a format using theGaussian 09 software) are presented in Table 9 Scanning forthe energy values introduces the following observations (i)there is no interaction observed with the five inhibitorstowards 3bch colon cancer protein (ii) -e degree of in-teraction towards breast colon protein (4c3p) is arranged asL5gt L1gt L2gt L4 while the arrangement towards 4zdr (livercancer protein) is as L5gt L1gt L4gt L3gt L2 -is result dis-plays the priority of L5 and L1 ligands in the inhibition

perimidines leading to red shift inside electronic transitionsSuch a behavior may clarify the effect of metal atoms(vanadyl) in stabilizing the compounds -is reduction ispreferable in biological attitude of compounds [52] (ii) -eabsolute softness values in complexes were enhanced thanthe ligand values which predicated their high biologicalactivity From calculated energy gaps Hammettrsquos relationdisplays a significant effect of the p-substituent on δE valuesof ligands or their complexes by two reverse features(Figure 9)

(2) Some Log File Parameters Essential log file data aresummarized and presented in Table 7 -e allowed data arevaried in between the free ligands and their complexes dueto the difference in methods used for the treatment Asuitable method used for the organic ligand appeared un-suitable for its VO(II) complex A comparative investigationintroduced the following notices (i) a general reduction inthe charges computed for coordinating atoms (O19 N11 N15and N16) -is is due to their participation in coordinationwith VO(II) atoms (ii) -e computed bond lengthsappearing with four perimidine derivatives are comparablewith each other except for the L3 ligand -is displays theinductive effect of the p-substituent (nitro group) on theelongation of bond lengths attributing to the affectedfunction groups (iii) Oscillator strength values (range 0ndash1)of complexes are commonly minimized than those of theircorresponding ligands -is may indicate the effect of themetal atom (vanadyl) in facilitating the absorption or ree-mission of electromagnetic radiations inside complexmolecules [53] -e values are close to zero and not 1 thismay suggest low excitation energy values needed for elec-tronic transitions (iv) Also an increase in dipole momentvalues of complexes over ligands indicates high polarity ofcovalent bonds surrounding two central atoms except for theL2 complex -is may refer to the significant differencebetween all substituents from the methoxy group which haselectron-donating feature in opposite with the others [54]

382 QSAR Calculations Using the HyperChem (v81)program essential QSAR parameters are calculated andtabulated (Table 8) -is computation gives a clear viewabout some statistics belonging to coordinating agentsLogP value is an indication for the biological feature of the

tested compound by a reverse relation [55] -e values arearranged by the following order L1 (253)gt L4 L5 (231)gt L2 (153)gt L3 (minus164) Partition coefficient (logP) valuesintroduce a distinguish biological activity may appear withthe L3 ligand

383 Docking Computation Simulation technique is a newrevolution process served in different applications Drugdesign is a complicated process that needs significant fa-cilities to establish a view about the expected efficiency ofproposed drugs In last decades the docking computationprocess between the proposed drug (inhibitor) and theinfected cell proteins is the concern in drug industrial re-search AutoDockTools 42 software was used for this ap-proach 4c3p 3bch and 4zdr are the BDP files for breastcolon and liver cancer cell proteins which are used for thedocking process with five perimidine derivatives -eextracted energies over PDB files (a format using theGaussian 09 software) are presented in Table 9 Scanning forthe energy values introduces the following observations (i)there is no interaction observed with the five inhibitorstowards 3bch colon cancer protein (ii) -e degree of in-teraction towards breast colon protein (4c3p) is arranged asL5gt L1gt L2gt L4 while the arrangement towards 4zdr (livercancer protein) is as L5gt L1gt L4gt L3gt L2 -is result dis-plays the priority of L5 and L1 ligands in the inhibition
