Zinc(II) complexes of indole thiosemicarbazones: DNA/protein binding, molecular docking and in vitro cytotoxicity studies

TL;DR: Four Zn(II) complexes (1–4) featuring indole thiosemicarbazones were synthesized and well-characterized by elemental analyses and various spectroscopic techniques, which implied that the complexes bound to CT DNA via intercalation, and complex 4 showed a higher binding affinity than the other complexes.
