In Vitro Optimization of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Activity with Troxacitabine, l-1,3-Dioxolane-cytidine, Prodrugs
摘要:
l-1,3-Dioxolane-cytidine, a potent anticancer agent against leukemia, has limited efficacy against solid tumors, perhaps due to its hydrophilicity. Herein, a library of prodrugs were synthesized to optimize in vitro antitumor activity against non-small cell lung cancer. N-4-Substituted fatty acid amide prodrugs of 10-16 carbon chain length demonstrated significantly improved antitumor activity over l-1,3-dioxolane-cytidine. These in vitro results suggest that the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of l-1,3-dioxolane-cytidine against solid tumors may be improved with prodrug strategies.

The main drawback in the use of most nucleoside anticancer agents originates from their hydrophilic nature, of which property requires a high and frequent dosage for an intravenous administration. Unlike other nucleoside anti-tumor agents, troxacitabine appears to predominantly enter tumor cells by passive diffusion rather then by using nucleoside transporters, although this may be model dependent. Accordingly, in the present work, a small library of twenty troxacitabine prodrugs has been synthesized using a parallel approach in order to evaluate the relationship between the lipophilicity of the prodrugs and their antitumor activity. Biological evaluation of the prodrugs on two non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (A549 and SW1573) and in pancreatic cell lines clearly showed better antitumor activity than that of troxacitabine, with IC
