Figure S1. Representative cyclic voltammogram of Cu(GTSC) complex (5 mM) in dry DMF (5 mL) at the scan rate of 10 mVs-1.

Figure S2. Representative pictures are showing the in vitro DNA binding behavior of copper complexes measured by ethidium bromide displacement assay. A) Addition of Cu(GTSCHCl) complex to DNA-EB mixture in 400 mM NaClO4, with increasing concentration, quenching the fluorescence. A plot of F/F0 vs complex concentration at 598 nm was allowed to calculate the apparent binding constant from 50% quenching.

Figure S3. Viscometric analysis illustrating the effect of increasing concentration of copper complexes on the relative viscosities of CT-DNA at 37 °C in 5 mM Tris-HCl buffer (5 mM NaCl) at pH 7.2. Ethidium bromide, a known DNA intercalator, and Hoechst 33258, a minor groove binder, were used as controls. All data shown with ± SD and are the average of three experiments.

Figure S4. Effect of Cu(GTSC) complex on pBR322 DNA. Lane 1, DNA control in 20 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.2); lane 2, DNA + 3.8% DMF; lane 3 and 4, DNA + [Cu(phen)2](NO3)2 (20 µM); lanes 4 to 16, DNA + Cu(GTSCHCl) with indicated concentration. Experiment was carried for 4 h at 37 °C and the percentage of DNA cleavage is given in the form of nicked circular (% NC). Reaction of copper complex with DNA was duplicated in each concentration.

bis(thiosemicarbazone) complexes. The pBR322 plasmid (lane 1) was incubated with topoisomerase IIα in the absence (lane 2) or in the presence of 100 µM of complexes for 30 min at 37 °C (lane 5 to lane 14). Adriamycin (5 µM) was used a positive control (lane 3 and 4). Reactions of copper complex with DNA-topoisomerase IIα mixture were duplicated. The supercoiled and nicked circular DNA were indicated by I and II.
