Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates generally to the field of anti-cancer therapy. More particularly, it provides novel crystalline forms of organic arsenic compounds and methods for their use in treating cancers such as leukemia and solid tumors. Specifically, a crystalline form of darinaparsin, wherein the crystalline form has a melting point in the range of about 190-200 deg C. La présente invention concerne d'une manière générale le domaine de la thérapie anticancéreuse. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement de nouvelles formes cristallines de composés arsenicaux organiques et des méthodes d'utilisation de celles-ci dans le traitement de cancers tels que la leucémie et des tumeurs solides. L'invention concerne en particulier une forme cristalline de darinaparsine, cette forme cristalline ayant une température de fusion comprise approximativement entre 190 et 200 °C.
