Hb. Hajtayeb et al., ANTHRACYCLINE ANTICANCER DRUGS AS EFFECTIVE LIGANDS FOR TERBIUM(III) IONS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (24), 1994, pp. 3689-3693
Spectroscopic measurements were carried out for terbium(III) complexes
with the anthracycline anticancer drugs doxorubicin, aclarubicin, car
minomycin and their simple model quinizarin-2-sulfonic acid ydro-1,4-d
ihydroxy-9,10-dioxoanthracene-2-sulfonic acid). Potentiometric titrati
ons were carried out for the doxorubicin-, aclarubicin- and quinizarin
-2-sulfonic acid-containing systems. Both stability constants and CD s
pectra indicate that interligand interactions stabilise the 1:2 metal-
to-ligand complexes formed.
