Novel anthracycline-spacer-β-glucuronide, -β-glucoside, and -β-galactoside prodrugs for application in selective chemotherapy
摘要:
A series of anthracycline prodrugs containing an immolative spacer was synthesized for application in selective chemotherapy. The prodrugs having the general structure anthracycline-spacer-beta-glycoside were designed to be activated by beta-glucuronidase or beta-galactosidase. Prodrugs with -chloro, bromo or -n-hexyl substituents on the spacer were synthesized as well as prodrugs containing a -beta-glucuronyl, -beta-glucosyl or -beta-galactosyl carbamate specifier. The key step in the synthesis of all prodrugs is the highly beta-diastereoselective addition reaction of the anomeric hydroxyl of a glycosyl donor to a spacer isocyanate resulting in the respective beta-glycosyl carbamate pro-moieties. The resulting protected pro-moieties were coupled to an anthracycline. Prodrugs were evaluated with respect to activation rate by the appropriate enzyme and additionally, their IC50 values were determined. Optimal prodrugs in this study were at least 100- to 200-fold less toxic than their corresponding drug in vitro and were activated to the parent drug in a half-life time of approximately 2 h.

A NBD-based probe for selective detection of fluoride ion in aqueous media is reported. The probe was designed by applying rules for water solubility and membrane permeability. The probe functions through the fluoride mediated cascade reaction which was studied by H-1 NMR, HPLC analysis, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The sensing process was marked by a colour change from colourless to yellow, and an intriguing 120-fold turn-on green fluorescence. Application of the probe for selective detection of fluoride was demonstrated by live-cell imaging. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A cascade reaction based fluorescent probe for rapid and selective fluoride ion detection
A cascade reaction-based colorimetric and fluorescent probe for selective fluoride ion detection is reported. The probe displays a fast response (t1/2 = 2.41 min) and 550-fold fluorescence enhancement during sensing of fluoride ions. Application of the probe in live cell imaging is demonstrated.
