Abstract: Titanocene glycine complex, Cp2Ti(O2CCH2NH3+Cl-)2, was found to have in vitro antitumor activity against Ethrlich ascites tumor cells. The interaction between Cp2Ti(O2CCH2NH3+Cl-)2and DNA was investigated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results suggested that no intercalation bonding exists between the compound and DNA, and the compound does not induce nicking of DNA.

Key words: Titanocene glycine complex, Antitumor, DNA, Agarose gel electrophoresis
