Synthesis and enzymatic activation of N-[Nα-(4-amino-4-deoxypteroyl)-Nδ-hemiphthaloyl-l-ornithiny]-l-phenylalanine, a candidate for antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT)
摘要:
N-[N-alpha-(4-Amino-4-deoxypteroyl)-N-delta-hemiphthaloyl-L-ornithinyl]-L-phenylalanine (1), a carboxypeptidase A (CPA) cleavable prodrug was synthesized for use in an antibody directed strategy to improve the therapeutic selectivity of N-alpha-(4-amino-4-deoxypteroyl)-N-delta-hemiphthaloyl-L-ornithine (2), an extremely potent nonpoly-glutamatable DHFR inhibitor which is also highly cytotoxic. Compound I was shown by HPLC analysis to give a >99% yield of 2 upon incubation with bovine CPA (bCPA) for 20 min at 25degreesC. In a spectrophotometric kinetic assay with 50 muM dihydrofolate as the competing substrate in the presence of 65 muM NADPH. 1+bCPA stoichiometrically inhibited recombinant human DHFR (rhDHFR) with a K-i of 0.35 pM. In contrast, I without bCPA was a poor inhibitor of rhDHFR (K-i > 10 muM). In a 72 h growth inhibition assay against cultured CCRF-CEM human leukemic lymphoblasts. the growth inhibitory activities of 1+bCPA, 2+bCPA, and 2 alone were the same (IC50 1.3-1.4 nM), whereas I in the absence of bCPA was > 100-fold less potent (IC50 155 nM).
