The present invention relates to chimeric (preferably, bifunctional) compounds, compositions comprising those compounds and methods of treating cancer in a patient or subject, especially including metastatic cancer where cancer cells exhibit overexpression (heightened expression) of cell surface urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (urokinase receptor) compared to normal (non-cancerous) cells. The compounds preferably covalently bind to the urokinase receptor and recruit native antibodies of the patient or subject where the antibodies can selectively degrade and/or deactivate targeted cancer cells through antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and/or antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) against a large number and variety of cancers, thus providing cancer cell death and/or an inhibition of growth, elaboration and/or metastasis of the cancer, including remission and cure of the patient's cancer.
本发明涉及嵌合(最好是双功能)化合物、包含这些化合物的组合物以及治疗患者或受试者癌症的方法,特别是包括转移性癌症,与正常(非癌症)细胞相比,癌细胞表现出细胞表面
尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活剂受体(
尿激酶受体)的过度表达(表达增强)。这些化合物优选与
尿激酶受体共价结合,并招募患者或受试者的原生
抗体,其中的
抗体可通过
抗体依赖性细胞吞噬和/或
抗体依赖性细胞细胞毒性(A
DCC)选择性地降解和/或使靶向癌细胞失活,以对抗大量和多种癌症,从而导致癌
细胞死亡和/或抑制癌症的生长、恶化和/或转移,包括缓解和治愈患者的癌症。
