Abstract
Paclitaxel is a well-known cancer drug that functions as a mitotic inhibitor. This work focuses on a copper based crystal that encapsulates the pharmaceutical agent and serves as a drug delivery agent. A Copper10-Pacitaxil1 chloride (CU10PAC1) complex is synthesized and tested against the National Cancer Institute’s sixty cell line panel. The 10:1 ratio results in a crystal that was examined by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spec (MALDI-TOF-MS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Proton (1H) and Carbon (13C) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The potential attributes of a copper based crystal as an in vivo drug carrier for Paclitaxel are discussed.
