Abstract

The dihydrated potassium salt of the complex anion [VO(O(2))NTA](2-) (NTA = nitrilotriacetate anion, [N(CH(2)-COO)(3)](3-)) was thoroughly characterized by electronic and vibrational (infrared and Raman) spectroscopies. The bioactivity of the complex on the cell proliferation was tested on three cell lines in culture (UMR106 rat osteosarcoma-derived cells, Caco-2 derived from a human colon adenocarcinoma, and RAW 264.7, a macrophage murine cell line).
