Abstract

The lanthanide complex tris(1,10-phenanthroline)tris(thiocyanato-KN) lanthanum(III) [La(phen)3(NCS)3] (KP772) is a promising anticancer drug candidate, capable of overcoming resistance of tumors to established, chemotherapeutics. The compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy, TG/DTA measurements, mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction analysis. The results indicate that KP772 is a neutral, nine-coordinate complex, In addition the behavior in water, important for the application as a chemotherapeutic drug, and the binding to biomolecules was investigated by capillary electrophoresis and ICP-MS
