A folate targeted camptothecin small molecule drug conjugate (SMDC) was synthesized using a monodisperse PEG spacer linked to folate via a releasable disulfide carbonate linker. Cell cytotoxicity in human KB cells exhibited an IC50 of 6nM. Importantly, activity of the prodrug was blocked by excess folate, demonstrating receptor-mediated celluar uptake of the PEG conjugate.
一种叶酸靶向喜树碱小分子药物偶联物(SMDC)是通过可释放的二硫碳酸酯连接子将单分散的 PEG 间隔臂连接到叶酸上来合成的。在人 KB 细胞中的细胞毒性实验表明,其 IC50 为 6nM。重要的是,前药的活性被过量的叶酸所阻断,这表明 PEG 偶联物是通过受体介导的细胞摄取。
