Synthesis and spectroscopic studies of berberine immobilized modified cellulose material

Abstract

This report describes the synthesis, characterization and spectroscopic studies of berberine immobilized modified cellulose materials, which could be a promising new biocompatible fluorescence material because berberine is a natural fluorescent molecule having important pharmacological aspects including selective binding with DNA G-quadruplex. Thus, berberine immobilized cellulose materials could be applicable in the screening of G-quadruplexing DNA sequence by bio-imaging techniques.
