An azobenzene-based heteromeric prodrug (hNDP) was prepared for targeted chemotherapy against hypoxic tumor. hNDP could divert the parent drug from nucleus to cytoplasm with lower toxicity, while the azoreduction of hNDP in hypoxia would activate the drug with a robust anti-tumor effect by initiating the apoptosis-related biochemical cascades.
一种基于偶氮苯的杂合前药 (hNDP) 被制备用于针对缺氧肿瘤的靶向化疗。hNDP 可以将亲代药物从细胞核转移到细胞质,毒性更低,而在缺氧条件下 hNDP 的偶氮还原会通过启动与细胞凋亡相关的生化级联反应来激活药物,从而产生强大的抗肿瘤作用。
