In the quest for rare earth metal complexes with enhanced cancer chemotherapeutic properties, the discovery of seven lanthanide(III) complexes bearing 8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (NQ) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands, i.e., [Sm-III(NQ)(phen)(H2O)Cl-2] (Ln1), [Eu-II(NQ)(phen)(H2O)Cl-2] (Ln2), [Gd-III(NQ)(phen)(H2O)Cl-2] (Ln3), [Dy-III(NQ)(phen)(H2O)Cl-2] (Ln4), [Ho-III(NQ)(phen)(H2O)Cl-2] (Ln5), [Er-III(NQ)(phen) (H2O)Cl-2] (Ln6), and [Yb-III(NQ)(phen)(H2O)Cl-2] (Ln7), as potential anticancer drugs is described. Complexes Ln1-Ln7 exhibit high antiproliferative activity against cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP cells (IC50 = 0.025-0.097 mu M) and low toxicity to normal HL-7702 cells. Moreover, complex Ln1, and to a lesser extent Ln7, can upregulate the expression of LC3 and Beclin1 and downregulate p62 to induce apoptosis in cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP cell lines, which is related to the cell autophagy-inducing properties of Ln1 and Ln7. Furthermore, in vivo assays suggest that Ln1 significantly inhibits A549/DDP xenograft tumor growth (56.5%). These results indicate that lanthanide(III) complex Ln1 is a promising candidate as an anticancer drug against cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP cells.
