Antisene oligonucleotides targeted to sequences in thymidylate synthase (TS) mRNA. In particular the invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides targeted to sequences in the 3′ end of TS mRNA, which are both cytostatic on their own when administered to human tumour cell lines, and which also enhance the toxicity of anticancer drugs such as Tomudex. The invention also relates to antisense oligonucleotides targeted to sequences at or near the translation start site at the 5′ end of TS mRNA which induce TS gene transcription and enhance cell growth. The invention further relates to a combination product comprising an antisense oligonucleotide in combination with an anticancer agent such as Tomudex (N-(5[N-3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxoquinazolin-6-ylmethyl)-N-methylamino]-2-thenoyl)-L-glutamic acid) or the Zeneca development compound ZD 9331 ((S)-2-(2-fluoro-4-[N-(4-hydroxy-2,7-dimethylquinazolin-6-ylmethyl)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)amino] benzamido-4-(1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl) butyric acid), and to the use of such a combination product in the treatment of cancer.
针对胸腺嘧啶酸合成酶(TS)mRNA 序列的反义寡核苷酸。特别是本发明涉及以 TS mRNA 3′末端序列为靶向的反义寡核苷酸,这种寡核苷酸在给人类肿瘤细胞系用药时本身具有细胞抑制作用,而且还能增强 Tomudex 等抗癌药物的毒性。本发明还涉及以 TS mRNA 5′端翻译起始位点或其附近序列为靶向的反义寡核苷酸,它能诱导 TS 基因转录并促进细胞生长。本发明进一步涉及一种组合产品,该产品包括反义寡核苷酸与抗癌剂如 Tomudex(N-(5-[N-3,4-二氢-2-甲基-4-氧代喹唑啉-6-基甲基)-N-甲基氨基]-2-苯甲酰基)-L-谷氨酸)或 Zeneca 开发的化合物 ZD 9331((S)-2-(2-氟-4-[N-(4-羟基-2、(S)-2-(2-氟-4-[N-(4-羟基-2,7-二甲基喹唑啉-6-基甲基)-N-(丙-2-炔基)氨基]苯甲酰胺基-4-(1H-1,2,3,4-四唑-5-基)丁酸),以及这种组合产品在癌症治疗中的应用。
