The present invention relates to a method for identification of enzymes that are preferentially expressed in certain tumor tissue as compared with rapidly growing normal cells or tissue, use of said enzymes for the compound design to generate an active anti-cancer substance selectively in tumor tissue, compounds designed based on said enzymes, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts as well as pharmaceutical composition thereof.
hexacyclic camptothecin analogs containing cyclic amidine, urea, or thiourea moiety were designed and synthesized based on the proposed 3D-structure of the topoisomerase I (Topo I)/DNA/camptothecin ternary complex. The analogs were prepared from 9-nitrocamptothecin via 7,9-diaminocamptothecin derivatives as a key intermediate. Among them, 7c exhibited in vivo antitumor activities superior to CPT-11 in
基于拓扑异构酶I(Topo I)/ DNA /喜树碱三元复合物的3D结构,设计并合成了含有环am,尿素或硫脲部分的新型六环喜树碱类似物。由9-硝基喜树碱经7,9-二氨基喜树碱衍生物作为关键中间体制备类似物。其中,7c在人类癌症异种移植模型中以最大耐受剂量表现出优于CPT-11的体内抗肿瘤活性,尽管其在体外的抗增殖活性可与SN-38媲美。

Eleven camptothecin esters, 6a-e and 7a-f, were prepared by straightforward acylation of camptothecins with the corresponding acylating reagents such as organic anhydrides and carboxylic acid chlorides. The in vitro pharmacokinetic determination of lactone levels of esters 6a and 7b showed that the biological life span of their lactone forms in human and mouse plasma significantly increased when compared with their mother compounds, camptothecin (3) and 9-nitrocamptothecin (4). The differences of lactone levels between human plasma and mouse plasma for 6a and 7b were much smaller than what was observed for their mother compounds. The in vivo antitumor activity and toxicity studies demonstrated that some of these esters were very active against human tumor xenografts in nude mice and had an exceptional lack of toxicity in nude mice, even at enormous doses.
