N,N'-Diisopropyl-O-Diphenylmethyl Isourea: A Mild and Convenient Alkylating Agent for the Formation of Cephalosporin Derivatives
摘要:
N,N'-Diisopropyl-O-diphenylmethyl isourea reacts with cephalosporin-4-carboxylic acid in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature to give the diphenylmethyl (DPM) ester in good yields without isomerization of the double bond from C-3 to C-2.
The instant invention relates to a novel method for the delivery of antitumor drugs to tumor cells by the administration of a tumor-selective antibody- β-lactamase conjugate that binds to tumor cells, and the additional administration of a cephalosporin prodrug that is converted at the tumor site, in the presence of the antibody-β-lactamase, to an active cytotoxic drug. According to the preferred embodiment of this invention, a cephalosporin mustard has been constructed which when cleaved by β-lactamase yields a cytotoxic nitrogen mustard. The methods, antibody-enzyme conjugate, prodrugs, pharmaceutical compositions, and combinations of this invention provide for enhanced selective killing of tumor cells and are thus useful in the treatment of cancers and other tumors.
