Abstract in Portuguese
Compostos de cobre(II) dinucleares, contendo ligantes nitrogenados, foram preparados, caracterizados por diversas técnicas espectroscópicas (UV/Vis, IV e EPR) e tiveram sua reatividade frente a células melanomas (B16F10 e TM1) verificada. Estes compostos são miméticos da tirosinase, enzima contendo em seu sítio ativo dois íons de cobre, presente em bactérias, plantas, animais e humanos, sendo responsável pela oxidação de fenóis a catecóis e destes às correspondentes quinonas. São enzimas relacionadas também à melanogênese, isto é, síntese de melanina, com formação de polímeros eumelanina e feomelanina, responsáveis pela pigmentação de nossa pele, olhos e cabelos. Os compostos mononucleares correspondentes foram também preparados e estudados, para efeito de comparação. Os resultados indicaram que os complexos dinucleares são mais ativos, tanto como miméticos da tirosinase, quanto em relação à citotoxicidade frente a melanomas, que os análogos mononucleares, mostrando que a estrutura é um fator determinante de ambas as atividades biológicas aqui estudadas. Ensaios de interação com as biomoléculas DNA e albumina humana (HSA) através de espectroscopia de UV/Vis e dicroísmo circular (CD) respectivamente, também foram realizados e complementaram os estudos. Atividade nuclease significativa foi observada para os complexos dinucleares, em presença de peróxido de hidrogênio, através de ensaios de clivagem em gel de agarose, buscando uma possível elucidação dos mecanismos de ação dos complexos em estudo.

Abstract in English
Dinuclear copper(II) complexes with nitrogenated ligands were prepared, characterized by spectroscopic techniques (UV/Vis, IR and EPR) and had their reactivity verified towards melanoma cells (B16F10 and TM1). These compounds are tyrosinase mimics, an enzyme present in bacteria, fungi, animals and humans, capable of catalyzing the oxidation of phenols to catechols, and catechols to the corresponding quinines, and containing two copper ions in its active site. Tyrosinases are also enzymes related to melanogenesis, assisting the formation of eumelanin and pheomelanin polymers, responsible for the colour of our eyes, skin and hair. The corresponding mononuclear copper(II) complexes were also prepared and comparative studies were performed. The results indicated that the dinuclear species are more reactive than the mononuclear ones, both as tyrosinase mimics as in cytotoxicity damage to melanoma cells, showing that the structure of such species is a determining factor of both biological activities. Experiments at the interactions of these complexes with the biomolecule DNA and human serum albumim, were also conducted by UV/Vis and circular dichroism spectroscopies, respectively, and complemented the previous studies. Nuclease activity was also assessed, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, monitored by cleavage assays in agarose gel, in order to contribute to the elucidation of the mechanisms of action of these complexes
