and acidic pH, and thus alkylates antioxidant GSH through the release of quinone methide, thereby inhibiting an antioxidative system and increasing oxidation stress, and generates and accumulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the release of cinnamaldehyde, thereby promoting apoptosis, and thus the hybrid anticancer prodrug according to the present invention can be favorably used as an anticancer drug by creating a synergetic anticancer effect through double stimulus-response and sequential treatment action in a cancer cell-specific manner.
本发明涉及一种同时产生
肉桂醛和醌
甲醚的杂合抗癌前药。根据本发明的杂合抗癌前药通过
过氧化氢和酸性pH依次释放醌
甲醚和
肉桂醛,从而通过释放醌
甲醚来烷基化
抗氧化剂GSH,抑制抗氧化系统并增加氧化应激,并通过释放
肉桂醛产生和积累活性氧种(ROS),从而促进凋亡,因此,根据本发明的杂合抗癌前药可以通过在癌细胞特异性方式下的双重刺激-响应和顺序治疗作用产生协同抗癌效果,从而可以作为抗癌药物有利地使用。
