Abstract
Inhibition of DNA damage repair is a common mechanism to induce cancer cell death and, therefore, to treat cancers such as breast, prostate and ovarian cancer. This approach, although very attractive, has not been feasible for treating brain tumours due to the stringent structural features necessary for pharmaceutical agents to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This study presents the proof of concept in vitro cellular activity of PARP1 (Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1) enzyme inhibitor olaparib conjugated with a known BBB-crossing heptamethine cyanine dye. We also present evidence for cellular uptake and PARP1 inhibition by the conjugate, which contributes to the observed improvement in potency.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
