Abstract
Aim :To study in vitro anti-HIV activities of [Ln(Phen)2 (5-Fu)3 (NO3)](NO3)2. Methods :Seven kinds of [Ln(Phen)2 (5-Fu)3 (NO3)](NO3)2complexes (Ln=Y,La,Ce,Sm,Gd,Dy,Er;Phen=1,10-phenanthroline;5-Fu=fluorouracil) were tested for their potential anti-HIV activities.IC50 of the complexes on C8166 cells was assayed by colorimetric MTT.EC50 was determined through the inhibition of syncytia formation induced by H9/HIV-1IIIB.The therapeutic index (TI,IC50/EC50) were calculated and compared with that of azidothymidine (AZT). Results :It was found that TI of [La(Phen)2 (5-Fu)3 (NO3)](NO3)2 and[Ce(Phen)2 (5-Fu)3 (NO3)](NO3)2 were 68.03 and 33.13,respectively. Conclusion :La or Ce doped complexes demonstrated in vitro anti-HIV activity.
