DNA‐Damage‐Response‐Targeting Mitochondria‐Activated Multifunctional Prodrug Strategy for Self‐Defensive Tumor Therapy
摘要:
AbstractWe report a novel multifunctional construct, M1, designed explicitly to target the DNA damage response in cancer cells. M1 contains both a floxuridine (FUDR) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) inhibitor combined with a GSH‐sensitive linker. Further conjugation of the triphenylphosphonium moiety allows M1 to undergo specific activation in the mitochondria, where mitochondria‐mediated apoptosis is observed. Moreover, M1 has enormous effects on genomic DNA ascribed to FUDR's primary function of impeding DNA/RNA synthesis combined with diminishing PP2A‐activated DNA repair pathways. Importantly, mechanistic studies highlight the PP2A obtrusion in FUDR/5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) therapy and underscore the importance of its inhibition to harbor therapeutic potential. HCT116 cell xenograft‐bearing mice that have a low response rate to 5‐FU show a prominent effect with M1, emphasizing the importance of DNA damage response targeting strategies using tumor‐specific microenvironment‐activatable systems.

A fluoresceinylcarbonate-based fluorescent probe (1) with a disulfide bond was designed for the detection of biothiols in an aqueous solvent. The probe showed a more rapid and sensitive response to biothiols than other various amino acids through the disulfide bond cleavage and the subsequent intramolecular cyclization. When glutathione was added to the probe, fluorescence of 1 was significantly enhanced and was observable with the naked eye and in living cells.
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide prodrugs of stereodefined oligonucleotides to impart additional stability to oligonucleotide molecules in many in-vitro and in-vivo applications.SOLUTION: A nucleic acid prodrug has a structure represented by the formula (1), where each instance of Ba is independently a blocked or unblocked adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, uracil or modified nucleobase.

We present a fullerene-based strategy that allows the synthesis of molecularly pure miktoarm spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) with diverse structures, which, with post-functionalization, could serve as efficient scaffolds for intracellular catalysis. The SNA structure promotes cell permeability, nucleic acid stability, and catalytic efficiency, making the platform ideal for in cellulo reactions. Consequently
