- Comparative study of microtubule inhibitors - Estramustine and natural podophyllotoxin conjugated PAMAM dendrimer on glioma cell proliferation
-
The synthetic estramustine (EM) and natural podophyllotoxin (PODO) anti-mitotic agents that inhibit tubulin polymerization are known anticancer agents. As low bioavailability limits their anticancer properties, we investigated whether conjugation with PAMAM dendrimer (D) could enhance the activity of D-EM and D-PODO by altering their release pattern. Release kinetics indicated synthesized conjugates to be stable against hydrolytic cleavage and showed sustained release characteristics. However, release of D-EM was slow compared to D-PODO conjugate. Antitumor effect of these conjugates on glioma cells revealed (i) increased cell death and cell cycle arrest (ii) decreased migration and (iii) increased tubulin depolymerization as compared to free drug. Importantly, the effects of natural PODO conjugate on glioma cell survival and migration is more pronounced than D-EM.

- 2-methoxyestramustine and derivative thereof, and preparation method and application thereof
-
The invention discloses 2-methoxyestramustine and a derivative thereof. The structural formula of the 2-methoxyestramustine is shown as a formula 1-4. According to the 2-methoxyestramustine disclosedby the invention, 2-methoxyestradiol is used as a carrier, an alkylating agent (nitrogen mustard) is connected through carbamate to form a bifunctional drug molecular compound, the whole molecule is used as an anti-mitotic agent, and after carbamate is metabolized and hydrolyzed in vivo, 2-methoxyestradiol released by metabolite mediation can still continue to play an anti-tumor role. The derivative of the 2-methoxyestradiol can be used as the prodrug of the 2-methoxyestradiol. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the 2-methoxyestramustine and the derivative thereof, the preparation method can be used for preparing the 2-methoxyestramustine and the derivative thereof, and the yield is relatively high. The invention further discloses application of the 2-methoxyestramustineand the derivative thereof in a medicine for treating tumors or multiple myeloma.

- Expanding the Arsenal of PtIV Anticancer Agents: Multi-action PtIV Anticancer Agents with Bioactive Ligands Possessing a Hydroxy Functional Group
-
Most multi-action PtIV prodrugs have bioactive ligands containing carboxylates. This is probably due to the ease of carboxylating the OH axial ligands and because following reduction, the active drug is released. A major challenge is to expand the arsenal of bioactive ligands to include those without carboxylates. We describe a general approach for synthesis of PtIV prodrugs that release drugs with OH groups. We linked the OH groups of gemcitabine (Gem), paclitaxel (Tax), and estramustine (EM) to the PtIV derivative of cisplatin by a carbonate bridge. Following reduction, the axial ligands lost CO2, rapidly generating the active drugs. In contrast, succinate-linked drugs did not readily release the free drugs. The carbonate-bridged ctc-[Pt(NH3)2(PhB)(Gem-Carb)Cl2] was significantly more cytotoxic than the succinate-bridged ctc-[Pt(NH3)2(PhB)(Gem-Suc)Cl2], and more potent and less toxic than gemcitabine, cisplatin, and co-administration of cisplatin and gemcitabine.

- THERAPEUTIC FOR HEPATIC CANCER
-
A novel pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing hepatocellular carcinoma and a method of treatment are provided. A pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing liver cancer is obtained by combining a chemotherapeutic agent with an anti-glypican 3 antibody. Also disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing liver cancer which comprises as an active ingredient an anti-glypican 3 antibody for use in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent, or which comprises as an active ingredient a chemotherapeutic agent for use in combination with an anti-glypican 3 antibody. Using the chemotherapeutic agent and the anti-glypican 3 antibody in combination yields better therapeutic effects than using the chemotherapeutic agent alone, and mitigates side effects that arise from liver cancer treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent.
