Herein we report the first example of an isoDGR-drug conjugate (2), designed to release paclitaxel selectively within cancer cells expressing integrin α β . Conjugate 2 was synthesized by connecting the isoDGR peptidomimetic 5 with paclitaxel via the lysosomally cleavable Val-Ala dipeptide linker. Conjugate 2 displayed a low nanomolar affinity for the purified integrin α β receptor (IC =11.0 nm). The tumor targeting ability of conjugate 2 was assessed in vitro in anti-proliferative assays on two isogenic cancer cell lines characterized by different integrin α β expression: human glioblastoma U87 (α β +) and U87 β -KO (α β -). The isoDGR-PTX conjugate 2 displayed a remarkable targeting index (TI=9.9), especially when compared to the strictly related RGD-PTX conjugate 4 (TI=2.4).
在此,我们报道了异天冬酰胺-甘氨酸-精氨酸(isoDGR)-药物偶联物(2)的首个实例,其设计目的是在表达整合素αβ的癌细胞内选择性释放紫杉醇。偶联物2通过可被溶酶体裂解的缬氨酸-丙氨酸二肽接头将异天冬酰胺-甘氨酸-精氨酸(isoDGR)拟肽5与紫杉醇连接而成。偶联物2对纯化的整合素αβ受体表现出低纳摩尔亲和力(IC = 11.0 nM)。在针对两种具有不同整合素αβ表达特征的同基因癌细胞系进行的抗增殖测定中,对体外评估了偶联物2的肿瘤靶向能力:人胶质母细胞瘤U87(αβ +)和U87 β-KO(αβ -)。异天冬酰胺-甘氨酸-精氨酸-紫杉醇(isoDGR-PTX)偶联物2显示出显著的靶向指数(TI = 9.9),特别是与密切相关的RGD-PTX偶联物4(TI = 2.4)相比时。
