The present invention relates to using a versatile synthetic approach to generate a new class of ester, amido, or carbamate prodrugs of highly potent, but systemicaliy too toxic platinum -acridine anticancer agents. The new hybrids contain a hydroxyl group which has been masked with a cleavable lipophilic acyl moiety. Both butanoic (butyric) and bulkier 2-propanepentanoic (valproic) esters were introduced to these compounds. The goal of this design was to improve the drug-like properties of the pharmacophore (e. g., logD) without compromising its DNA-mediated cell kill potential.
本发明涉及使用一种多功能合成方法来生成一类新的酯、酰胺或
碳酸酯前药,这些前药是高效但系统毒性过高的
铂-
吖啶抗癌药物。这些新的混合物包含一个被可裂解的亲脂性酰基掩蔽的羟基。这些化合物引入了
丁酸(
丁酸)和更大的2-
丙烷戊酸(
丙戊酸)酯。这种设计的目标是改善药物样性质(例如,logD)而不影响其DNA介导的细胞杀伤潜力。
