Resistance to the platinum-based chemotherapy drug, cisplatin, is a significant setback in ovarian cancer. We engineered fatty acid-like Pt(iv) prodrugs that harness the fatty acid transporter CD36 to facilitate their entry to ovarian cancer cells. We show that these novel constructs effectively kill cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells.
对基于铂的化疗药物顺铂的耐药性是卵巢癌的一个重大挫折。我们设计了脂肪酸样的 Pt(iv)前药,利用脂肪酸转运蛋白 CD36 促进它们进入卵巢癌细胞。我们表明,这些新型构建体有效地杀死了顺铂耐药的卵巢癌细胞。
