Abstract: The supramolecular complexation of anthracycline antibiotic ruboxyl with water-soluble fullerene derivative was visualized by scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy, and the effects of this complexation on the antileukemic activity in vivo were evaluated. Treatment of mice with P388 lymphocytic leukemia with ruboxyl resulted in 13% of cured animals, while similar treatment with ruboxyl–fullerene derivative combination caused 63% curing.

Keywords: water-soluble fullerene derivative, ruboxyl, leukemia, vesicles, IR s-SNOM.
