A new ternary Cu(Ⅱ) complex[Cu(HPBC)(L-Phe)(H₂O)]ClO₄ (1) was synthesized with 5-chloro-2-(2'-pyridyl) benzimidazole (HPBC) as the main ligand and L-phenylalaninate (L-Phe) as the auxiliary ligand. Complex 1 was characterized by elemental analysis, various spectroscopic methods and molar conductivity measurement, and the X-ray crystallographic study was used to determine the crystallographic structure of the complex, which exhibits a five-coordinated distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The binding property of the complex toward calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was studied by electronic absorption, competitive fluorescence titration, viscosity measurement and molecular docking technology, revealing that the complex mainly bound to DNA by an intercalative mode. The antibacterial activities (Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) of Cu(ClO₄)₂, HPBC and the complex were tested by Oxford Cup method. In addition, the complex displayed favorable cytotoxic activities toward all the tested cancer cells such as SGC-7901, Bel-7402, HeLa and A549 with IC₅₀ values of 1.69~2.50 μmol·L^-1. Most importantly, the possible anticancer mechanism of the complex was explored by determining the morphological changes of cells (AO/EB double staining method) and cell cycle measurement analyses. The results revealed that the complex could induce apoptosis through the DNA binding pathway. CCDC:2032899.
