A β-galactosidase activatable fluorescent turn-on theranostic Gal-CGem exhibits gemcitabine release specifically in β-galactosidase overexpressing hepatic carcinoma cells. The cytotoxicity of Gal-CGem in cancer cells is achieved through the apoptotic cell death pathway. Overall, Gal-CGem is a new frontline prodrug in cancer therapy that has provided antineoplastic information through fluorescence imaging.
一种 β-半乳糖苷酶激活型荧光开启的治疗诊断两用 Gal-CGem,在过表达 β-半乳糖苷酶的肝癌细胞中特异性释放吉西他滨。Gal-CGem 在癌细胞中的细胞毒性是通过细胞凋亡途径实现的。总的来说,Gal-CGem 是一种新的一线抗癌前药,通过荧光成像提供了抗肿瘤信息。
