We have designed sugar-hybrid TX-1877 derivatives conjugated with sugar moieties including beta-glucose (beta-Glc), beta-galactose (beta-Gal), alpha-mannose (alpha-Man) and N-acetyl-beta-galactosamine (beta-GaINAc). Compound 1 (TX-1877) was glycosylated with appropriate peracetylated sugars using BF3-OEt2 to give acetylated sugar-hybrids, 5 (TX-2244), 6 (TX-2245), 7 (TX-2246), and 10 (TX-2243). Removal of the acetyl groups afforded the sugar-hybrids having free hydroxyl groups, 11 (TX-2141), 12 (TX-2218), 13 (TX-2217) and 14 (TX-2068). We evaluated their radiosensitizing activities by an in vitro radiosensitization assay. All free hydroxyl hybrids have lower enhancement ratio (ER) values (ER <= 1.43) and lower n-octanol/water partition coefficient (P-oct) values (P-oct < 1.00 X 10(-2)) than does 1 (TX-1877, ER = 1.75, P-oct: 5.60 x 10(-2)). All acetylated hybrids have similar P-oct values (3.55 x 10(-2)-1.05 x 10(-1)) to 1 (TX-1877) and have improved ER values (ER >= 1.47) compared to the hybrids having free hydroxyl groups. Among these, 5 (TX-2244) is the most active radiosensitizer (ER = 2.30). We found a good correlation (r = 0.866) between the magnitude of P-oct (logP(oct)) and the ER value of 5 (TX-2244), 6 (TX-2245), 7 (TX-2246), 10 (TX-2243) and I (TX-1877), suggesting that increasing the hydrophobicity is reflected in increased in vitro radiosensitizing activity. In the present study, we have Succeeded in producing sugar-hybrid hypoxic cell radiosensitizers that have an increased radiosensitizing activity that does not depend on increased hydrophobicity.
