Abstract

Two novel 5-fluorouracil derivatives of rare earth (Sm, Eu) substituted polyoxometalates, K 9(C 4H 4FN 2O 2) 2Sm(PW 11O 39) 2· 11H 2O (FSmPW) and K 9H(C 4H 4FN 2O 2)Eu(PW 11O 39) 2· 11H 2O (FEuPW) were synthesized and characterized by element analysis, ICP, FT-IR, 1H NMR and XRD analysis. Thermal stability analysis was performed by TG and FT-IR. The results of MTT assay show that FSmPW and FEuPW have higher cytotoxicity than known compound C 4H 4FN 2O 2H 2PW 12O 40· 8H 2O, and the IC 50 values of FSmPW and FEuPW are 4.20, 3.49 μmol·L -1 against HeLa cells and 4.62, 7.19 μmol·L -1 against HepG-2 cells. Apoptosis analysis reveals the apoptosis inducing activity of the two compounds, which may play an important role in the cytotoxicity of polyoxometalates.
