Polyamines having the formula:
1
or a salt thereof with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid wherein:
R
1
-R
6
may be the same or different and are alkyl, aryl, aryl alkyl, cycloalkyl, optionally having an alkyl chain interrupted by at least one etheric oxygen atom, or hydrogen;
N
1
, N
2
, N
3
and N
4
are nitrogen atoms capable of protonation at physiological pH's;
a and b may be the same or different and are integers from 1 to 4;
A, B and C may be the same or different and are bridging groups which effectively maintain the distance between the nitrogen atoms such that the polyamines:
(i) are capable of uptake by a target cell upon administration thereof to a human or non-human animal; and
(ii) upon uptake by the target cell, competitively bind via an electrostatic interaction between the positively charged nitrogen atoms to substantially the same biological counter-anions as the intracellular natural polyamines in the target cell;
the polyamines, upon binding to the biological counter-anion in the cell, function in a manner biologically different than the intracellular polyamines, the polyamines not occurring in nature; as well as pharmaceutical compositions embodying the polyamines and methods of treating patients requiring anti-neoplastic therapy.
聚胺具有以下化学式:1或其与药用可接受酸盐,其中:R1-R6可能相同或不同,为烷基、芳基、芳基烷基、环烷基,或可由至少一个醚氧原子中断的烷基链组成,或氢;N1、N2、N3和N4是氮原子,在生理pH下能够质子化;a和b可能相同或不同,为1至4的整数;A、B和C可能相同或不同,是有效维持氮原子之间距离的桥联基团,使得聚胺:(i)能够在给予人类或非人类动物后被靶细胞吸收;以及(ii)在被靶细胞吸收后,通过正电荷氮原子之间的静电相互作用与靶细胞内的天然聚胺基本相同地与生物学反离子结合;这些聚胺在细胞内与生物反离子结合后,以生物学上与细胞内聚胺不同的方式发挥作用,这些聚胺在自然界中不存在;以及包含聚胺的药物组合物和治疗需要抗肿瘤治疗的患者的方法。
