The new macrocyclic complex 2‐amino‐2‐deoxy‐ N ‐[2‐(1,3,5,8,11‐pentaazacyclotridecan‐3‐yl)ethyl]‐ β ‐ D ‐glucopyranosylamine copper(II) dichloride ( 1a ) was prepared and thoroughly characterized by various techniques. Molar‐conductance measurements showed that 1a (and its Ni analogue 1b ) are ionic in nature. On the basis of spectroscopic data, both complexes were assigned a square‐planar geometry, and found to be highly stabile and hydrolytically robust in H 2 O over a wide range of pH, as confirmed by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The Cu II complex 1a was found to bind to CT‐DNA, with a binding constant K b of 2.4×10 3   M −1 , as derived by UV/VIS titration, and confirmed by CV, circular dichroism (CD), and viscosity measurements. DNA binding seems to occur mostly via H‐bonding. In an in vitro antitumor MTT assay, 1a exhibited significant anticancer activity against the SY5Y and PC‐12 cell lines, with an estimated IC 50 value in the micromolar range for SYSY, similar to the standard drug 5‐fluorouracil.
