synthesized a novel mutual prodrug, named BC-01 (3), by integrating ubenimex and Fluorouracil (5-FU) into one molecule based on prior research results that showed that a combination of the aminopeptidase N (CD13) inhibitor, ubenimex, and the cytotoxic antitumor agent, 5-FU, exhibited improved in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficiency. 3 showed potent inhibitory activity against CD13 enzymatic activity. Compared
我们基于先前的研究结果表明氨基肽酶N(CD13)抑制剂ubenimex的组合,通过将ubenimex和Fluorouracil(5-FU)整合到一个分子中,设计并合成了一种新的共同药物BC-01(3)。 ,而细胞毒性抗肿瘤药5-FU在体外和体内的抗肿瘤功效均得到改善。图3显示了对CD13酶活性的有效抑制活性。与ubenimex相比,3表现出更强的抗血管生成作用,与批准的5-FU前药卡培他滨相比,3表现出更强的肿瘤生长抑制和抗转移作用。此外,与5-FU或5-FU加ubenimex相比,即使在我们的5-FU耐药小鼠模型中,3也显示出优异的抗肿瘤效率。可以使用这种策略将其他抗肿瘤剂与ubenimex偶联,以获得具有良好抗肿瘤潜能的新型互用前药。
