The present study was undertaken to design the novel liposomal drug formulation containing doxorubicin and europium coordination complexes. It was shown that co-encapsulation of the drugs facilitates the partitioning and permeation of lanthanides into the lipid bilayer. The obtained results suggest that new drug platform may have potential application in the design of novel antitumor agents.
