Square pyramidal copper(II) complexes with second‐generation fluoroquinolone, pefloxacin and phenanthroline derivatives were prepared and characterized. They were also screened for in–vitro activity against two Gram (+ve) and three Gram (−ve) microorganisms. SOD mimic behavior was actively sought for clinical and mechanistic purposes under a nonenzymatic system (NBT–NADH–PMS), and was found to have good antioxidant activity. The complexes are avid DNA binders having binding constant ( K b ) in the power of 4. Viscosity measurement data confirmed that complexes bind through classical intercalative mode of binding. The cleavage ability on pUC19 DNA was determined using gel electrophoresis technique. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
