Metal phthalocyanine as photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT)——Preparation,characterization and anticancer activities of an amphiphilic phthalocyanine ZnPcS_2P_2

A series of sulfonated (S) phthalimidomethyl (P) zinc phthalocyanines (Pc) was synthesized in a reaction, in which both kinds of substituents were introduced to ZnPc simultaneously. The products were separated by HPLC. The five different fractions obtained were further purified by a membrane separation method, and then characterized by UV/Vis, IR, element analysis and the abilities to generate singlet oxygen upon irradiation by light as well as a preliminary determination of in vitro antitumor activities. The results show that one of the five separating parts with formula of ZnPcS2P2 exhibited rather good PDT activity. The compound was further characterized by NMR, MS and thermal analysis. Studies on in vivo antitumor activities of ZnPcS2P2 as photosensi-tizer show that its inhibitory rate was up to 89.8% and 90.8% for S180 and U14 solid tumors transplanted in mice respectively when the dosage of drug was 2 mg/kg and the dosage of laser light with 670 nm wavelength was 72 J/cm2.

中药复方921粗提物的抗前列腺癌作用

为确定中药复方921粗提物的抗前列腺癌作用,采用SRB法考察921方粗提物对肿瘤细胞株的体外生长抑制作用,采用小鼠可移植瘤模型肝癌H22、肉瘤S180、前列腺癌TRAMP-C2和人前列腺癌细胞PC-3M裸鼠移植模型,考察其对体内肿瘤的生长抑制作用,并了解其与CTX合用时的增效和减毒作用。结果显示： 1） 921方粗提物对DU-145,PC-3M,EJ,TRAMP-C2等细胞株的GI_50约在1∶14.2～1∶73.5（稀释度）之间; 2） 对肝癌H22小鼠移植瘤的抑制率达42％,对肉瘤S180小鼠移植瘤的抑制率达52％,对TRAMP-C2小鼠移植瘤的抑制率达36％,对人前列腺癌细胞PC-3M裸鼠移植瘤的抑制率达44.2%,与CTX合用能起到协同抗肿瘤作用并且不增加毒性。结果表明中药复方921粗提物具有一定的抗前列腺癌作用。     

Alternative Synthesis and the Determination of Absolute Configuration of Docetaxel,an Anticancer Drug

Abstract

A simple, efficient, and alternative synthetic route for docetaxel with better control on the protection–deprotection sequence has been developed. The process is easily scalable and commercially viable, and critical impurities can be controlled efficiently. For the first time, absolute configuration of docetaxel was determined unambiguously by single-crystal x-ray diffraction.     

Detection and recognition of cancer cells in vivo

A fundamentally new recognition method of bio-objects (e.g., cancer cells as the most important case of them) that escape the immune system supervision control is suggested. It is proposed to use a unified complex consisting of several molecular groups (e.g., antibodies or their fragments) bound with each other. Binding targets are localized on the surface of this bio-object. The choice of the targets is determined by antigen profiling being expressed on the surface of these bio-objects. The recognition efficiency appears to be notably higher than in a situation when molecular groups do not form a unified complex and act separately.     

Magnetic microcapsules for targeted delivery of anticancer drugs

To achieve targeted distribution of anticancer drugs with sustained activity, ferromagnetic ethylcellulose microcapsules containing an anticancer drug, mitomycin C (FM-MMC-mc), were prepared by a method based on phase separation principles. Two prototypes of FM-MMC-mc were made: one with the drug as the core and zinc ferrite on its capsular surface (outer type); the other with both the drug and zinc ferrite as the core (inner type). Both preparations provided a sustained-release property and a sensitive response to conventional magnetic force, although certain differences in the release rate of drug, magnetic responsiveness, and particle size were found between the two dosage forms. Animal studies showed that the magnetic microcapsules could be magnetically controlled in the artery and urinary bladder. VX2 tumors in the rabbit hind limb and urinary bladder were successfully treated with magnetic control of FM-MMC-mc. Pharmacokinetic study revealed that the targeting of the microcapsules markedly enhanced the drug absorption into the surrounding tissues for a prolonged period of time. The results indicate the feasibility and effectiveness of the magnetic microcapsules as a targeted drug delivery system.

用单分子技术研究抗癌药物顺铂对DNA结构的影响

文章作者用磁镊与原子力显微镜研究了抗癌药物顺铂对单个DNA分子结构的影响.当顺铂浓度较低时,DNA链变得柔软,驻留长度从～52 nm显著缩短到～15 nm;当顺铂浓度较高时,DNA表现出凝聚现象.基于单分子拉伸和原子力显微镜(AFM)成像两方面的实验结果,文章作者提出一个顺铂导致的DNA变软(softening)-成环(looping)-缩短(shortening)-凝聚(condensing)模型(简写为SLSC模型)来解释观察到的DNA凝聚,并认为通过远程交联使DNA形成小环结构是铂类抗癌药物作用的重要特征.
