Prodrugs of analogs of the anti-tumor antibiotic CC-1065 having a cleavable protective group such as a piperazino carbamate, a 4-piperidino-piperidino carbamate or a phosphate, in which the protecting group confers enhanced water solubility and stability upon the prodrug, and in which the prodrug also has a moiety, such as a disulfide, that can conjugate to a cell binding reagent such as an antibody. The therapeutic use of such prodrug conjugates is also described; such prodrugs of cytotoxic agents have therapeutic use because they can deliver cytotoxic prodrugs to a specific cell population for enzymatic conversion to cytoxic drugs in a targeted fashion.
抗肿瘤抗生素CC-1065类似物的原药具有可裂解的保护基团,如哌嗪氨基甲酸酯、4-哌啶氨基甲酸酯或磷酸酯,其中保护基团赋予原药更高的水溶性和稳定性,原药还具有可与细胞结合试剂(如抗体)共轭的分子,如二硫化物。此外,还介绍了这类原药共轭物的治疗用途;这类细胞毒性药物原药具有治疗用途,因为它们可以将细胞毒性原药以靶向方式输送到特定的细胞群中,使其在酶的作用下转化为细胞毒性药物。
