Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in American men. PCa that relapses after hormonal therapies, referred to as castration resistant PCa (CRPC), often presents with metastases (mCRPC) that are the major cause of mortality. The few available therapies for mCRPC patients include taxanes docetaxel (DTX) and cabazitaxel (CBZ). However, development of resistance limits their clinical use. Mechanistically, resistance arises through upregulation of multidrug resistance (MDR) proteins such as MDR1/ABCB1, making ABCB1 an attractive therapeutic target. Yet, ABCB1 inhibitors failed to be clinically useful due to low specificity and toxicity issues. To study taxanes resistance, we produced CBZ resistant C4-2B cells (RC4-2B) and documented resistance to both CBZ and DTX in cell culture and in 3D prostaspheres settings. RNAseq identified increased expression of ABCB1 in RC4-2B, that was confirmed by immunoblotting and immunofluorescent analysis. ABCB1-specific inhibitor elacridar reversed CBZ and DTX resistance in RC4-2B cells, confirming ABCB1-mediated resistance mechanism. In a cell-based screen using a curated library of cytotoxic drugs, we found that DNA damaging compounds Camptothecin (CPT) and Cytarabine (Ara-C) overcame resistance as seen by similar cytotoxicity in parental C4-2B and resistant RC4-2B. Further, these compounds were cytotoxic to multiple PC cells resistant to taxanes with high ABCB1 expression and, therefore, can be used to conquer the acquired resistance to taxanes in PCa. Finally, inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 (CDK4/6) with small molecule inhibitors (CDK4/6i) potentiated cytotoxic effect of CPT or Ara-C in both parental and resistant cells. Overall, our findings indicate that DNA damaging agents CPT and Ara-C alone or in combination with CDK4/6i can be suggested as a new treatment regimen in CRPC patients, including those that are resistant to taxanes.

Abstract
Conventional topoisomerase (Topo) inhibitors typically usually exert their cytotoxicity by damaging the DNAs, which exhibit high toxicity and tend to result in secondary carcinogenesis risk. Molecules that have potent topoisomerase inhibitory activity but involve less DNA damage provide more desirable scaffolds for developing novel chemotherapeutic agents. In this work, we broke the rigid pentacyclic system of luotonin A and synthesized thirty-three compounds as potential Topo inhibitors based on the devised molecular motif. Further investigation disclose that two compounds with the highest antiproliferation activity against cancer cells, 5aA and 5dD, had a distinct Topo I inhibitory mechanism different from those of the classic Topo I inhibitors CPT or luteolin, and were able to obviate the obvious cellular DNA damage typically associated with clinically available Topo inhibitors. The animal model experiments demonstrated that even in mice treated with a high dosage of 50 mg/kg 5aA, there were no obvious signs of toxicity or loss of body weight. The tumor growth inhibition (TGI) rate was 54.3 % when 20 mg/kg 5aA was given to the T24 xenograft mouse model, and 5aA targeted the cancer tissue precisely without causing damage to the liver and other major organs.

Abstract
Quinazoline derivatives, as an important category of heterocyclic compounds, have received much attention for the design and development of new drugs due to their various pharmacological properties. Besides, there is a great deal of evidence showing pyrimidine analogs as anticancer agents. Thus, in the present study, for the design of new target compounds with cytotoxic activity, we focused on various quinazolinone and pyrimidine hybrids. A new series of quinazoline-pyrimidine hybrid derivatives (6a-6n) have been designed and synthesized as novel antiproliferative agents. All the synthesized compounds characterized based on their IR, NMR and Mass spectroscopic data. Antiproliferative activities of the new compounds were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, A549, SW-480). The compounds were found to have appropriate potential with IC50 values ranging from 2.3 ± 5.91 to 176.5 ± 0.7 μM against the tested cell lines. Compound 6n exerted the highest antiproliferative activity with IC50 values of 5.9 ± 1.69 μM, 2.3 ± 5.91 μM and 5.65 ± 2.33 μM against A549, SW-480 and MCF-7 respectively. The results indicated that 6n could induce apoptosis in A549 cell line in a dose dependent manner and arrest in the S phase of cell cycle. Docking studies were also done to investigate the detailed binding pattern of the synthesized compounds against EGFR. Furthermore, molecular dynamic simulation and binding free energy calculation have been done to rescore initial docking pose of the synthesized compounds using ensemble-based MMGB/PBSA free energy method. According to the results, free energy calculation confirmed biological activity of compounds and also, Arg 817 and Lys 721 residues had the pivotal role in the high potency of 6n. Finally, the drug likeness and in silico ADME study were also predicted.

Abstract
Nitrogen heterocycles are part of the structure of natural products and agents with important biological activity, such as antiviral, antibiotic, and antitumor drugs. For this reason, heterocyclic compounds are one of today's most desirable synthetic targets and the Povarov reaction is a powerful synthetic tool for the construction of highly functionalized heterocyclic systems. This process involves an aromatic amine, a carbonyl compound, and an olefin or acetylene to give rise to the formation of a nitrogen-containing heterocycle. This review illustrates advances in the synthetic aspects of the intramolecular Povarov reaction for the construction of intricate nitrogen-containing polyheterocyclic compounds. This original review presents research done in this field, with references to important works by internationally relevant research groups on this current topic, covering the literature from 1992 to 2022. The intramolecular Povarov reactions are described here according to the key processes involved, using different combinations of aromatic or heteroaromatic amines, and aliphatic, aromatic, or heteroaromatic aldehydes. Some catalytic reactions promoted by transition metals are detailed, as well as the oxidative Povarov reaction and some asymmetric intramolecular Povarov processes.

Abstract
Crop diseases caused by fungi threaten food security and exacerbate the food crisis. Inspired by the application of fungicide candidates from natural products in agrochemical discovery, a series of luotonin A derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antifungal activities against five plant fungi. Most of these compounds exhibited significant fungicidal activity against Botrytis cinerea in vitro with EC50 values less than 1 μg/mL. Among them, compounds w7, w8, w12, and w15 showed superior antifungal activity against B. cinerea with EC50 values of 0.036, 0.050, 0.042, and 0.048 μg/mL, respectively, which were more potent than boscalid (EC50 = 1.790 μg/mL). Preliminary mechanism studies revealed that compound w7 might pursue its antifungal activity by disrupting the fungal cell membrane and cell wall. Moreover, in vivo bioassay also indicated that compound w7 could be effective for the control of B. cinerea. The above results evidenced the potential of luotonin A derivatives as novel and promising candidate fungicides.

Enhanced Stability and Bioactivity of Natural Anticancer Topoisomerase I Inhibitors through Cyclodextrin Complexation. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13101609.

Abstract
The use of cyclodextrins as drug nano-carrier systems for drug delivery is gaining importance in the pharmaceutical industry due to the interesting pharmacokinetic properties of the resulting inclusion complexes. In the present work, complexes of the anti-cancer alkaloids camptothecin and luotonin A have been prepared with β-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. These cyclodextrin complexes were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The variations in the 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR chemical shifts allowed to establish the inclusion modes of the compounds into the cyclodextrin cavities, which were supported by docking and molecular dynamics studies. The efficiency of the complexation was quantified by UV-Vis spectrophotometry and spectrofluorimetry, which showed that the protonation equilibria of camptothecin and luotonin A were drastically hampered upon formation of the inclusion complexes. The stabilization of camptothecin towards hydrolysis inside the cyclodextrin cavity was verified by the quantitation of the active lactone form by reverse phase liquid chromatography fluorimetric detection, both in basic conditions and in the presence of serum albumin. The antitumor activity of luotonin A and camptothecin complexes were studied in several cancer cell lines (breast, lung, hepatic carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma and human neuroblastoma) and an enhanced activity was found compared to the free alkaloids, particularly in the case of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin derivatives. This result shows that the cyclodextrin inclusion strategy has much potential towards reaching the goal of employing luotonin A or its analogues as stable analogues of camptothecin.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in many developed and developing countries. Continuous efforts are required for designing better therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer with more efficacy, selectivity, and less toxicity. The fused heterocyclic ring system has been identified by several researchers as a privileged structure that can be used as a basis for drug discovery in medicinal chemistry. The hetero-aromatic bicyclic ring system acts as a pharmacophore in a wide range of drugs with therapeutic potential. According to studies in the literature, variously substituted benzimidazoles have distinct pharmacological profiles with multi-targeting ability, making them an important anchor for the production of novel therapeutic agents against complex cancers including breast cancer, skin cancer, and blood cancer. In this presented article we are discussed various synthetic methods for the synthesis of anticancer benzimidazoles and their derivatives in different solvent conditions, substrates, and various catalysts mainly those which are eco-friendly, and economical, which shows the anticancer activity. We also focused on various derivatives are under clinical trials containing Benzimidazole moiety.

Abstract
Core-shell nanocomposites with a catalytic metal-organic framework (MOF) shell are more effective and stable than bare MOF. We have successfully designed an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazole by integrating acidic catalytic activity, and promoted the aerobic oxidation and magnetic recyclability of core-shell nanocomposite Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66. The Fe3O4@SiO2 core is encapsulated by the in situ-grown UiO-66 shell, and the UiO-66 shell retains the porous structure and crystallinity of UiO-66 with abundant exposed Lewis acid sites. It shows high catalytic ability for the synthesis of various benzimidazoles through the acid-catalyzed condensation and aerobic oxidation with in situ oxygen. The Fe3O4@SiO2 core provides magnetic recyclability of Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66, and maintains high catalytic ability and stability over six cycles.

Int J Pharm 2020; 589:119875. [PMID: 32919003 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2020.119875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Revised: 08/30/2020] [Accepted: 09/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Multi-drug chemotherapy has been one of the most popular strategies for the treatment of malignant tumors, and has achieved desirable therapeutic outcomes. The objective of the present study is to develop biodegradable PCEC nanoparticles (NPs) for the co-delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) and curcumin (CUR), and investigate the antitumor effect of the drug delivery system (DDS: PTX-CUR-NPs) against breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. The prepared PTX-CUR-NPs had a small size of 27.97 ± 1.87 nm with a low polydispersity index (PDI, 0.197 ± 0.040). The results exhibited slow release of PTX and CUR from the DDS without any burst effect. Further, the PTX-CUR-NPs displayed a dose-dependent cytotoxicity in MCF-7 cells with a higher apoptosis rate (64.29% ± 1.97%) as compared to that of free drugs (PTX + CUR, 34.21% ± 0.81%). The cellular uptake study revealed that the drug loaded PCEC polymeric nanoparticles were more readily uptaken by tumor cells in vitro. To evaluate the in vivo anti-tumor effect, the PTX-CUR-NPs were intravenously administered to BALB/c nude mouse xenografted with MCF-7 cells and the results exhibited significant inhibition of tumor growth with prolonged survival time and reduced side effect when compared with free drugs (PTX + CUR). Moreover, the administration of PTX-CUR-NPs treatment led to lower Ki67 expression (p < 0.05), and enhanced TUNEL positivity (higher apoptosis, p < 0.01) in tumor cells as compared to other treatment groups, suggesting the therapeutic efficacy of the DDS. Altogether, the present study suggests that the DDS PTX-CUR-NPs could be employed for the effective treatment of breast cancers in near future.

Abstract
Plant diseases caused by viruses and fungi have posed a serious threat to global agricultural production. The discovery of new leads based on natural products is an important way to innovate pesticides. In this work, natural product luotonin A was found to have good antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) for the first time. A series of luotonin A derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antiviral activities and fungicidal activities systematically. Most compounds displayed better antiviral activities against TMV than commercial ribavirin. Compounds 9k, 12b, and 12d displayed about similar inhibitory effects as ningnanmycin (inhibitory rates of 55, 57, and 59% at 500 μg/mL for inactivation, curative, and protection activities in vivo, respectively), the best antiviral agent at present, and emerged as novel antiviral leads for further research. We selected 9k for further antiviral mechanism research via transmission electron microscopy and molecular docking, which revealed that compound 9k can interact with TMV coat protein through the hydrogen bond, leading to its polymerization, thus preventing virus assembly. Further fungicidal activity tests showed that these compounds also showed broad-spectrum fungicidal activities against 14 kinds of phytopathogenic fungi. Especially, compound 14 with a 100% antifungal effect against Botrytis cinereal emerged as a lead for further research. This work provides a reference for the development of agricultural active ingredients based on Chinese medicine plants.

Abstract
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is considered as the most onerous cancer subtype, lacking the estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors. Evaluating new markers is an unmet need for improving targeted therapy against TNBC. TNBC depends on several factors, including hypoxia development, which contributes to therapy resistance, immune evasion, and tumor stroma formation. In this study, we studied the curcumin analogue (3,4-Difluorobenzylidene Curcumin; CDF) encapsulated bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticle for tumor targeting. For tumor targeting, we conjugated Acetazolamide (ATZ) with CDF and encapsulated it in the BSA to form a nanoparticle (namely BSA-CDF-ATZ). The in vitro cytotoxicity study suggested that BSA-CDF-ATZ is more efficient when compared to free CDF. The BSA-CDF-ATZ nanoparticles showed significantly higher cell killing in hypoxic conditions compared to normoxic conditions, suggesting better internalization of the nanoparticles into cancer cells under hypoxia. Fluorescent-dye labeled BSA-CDF-ATZ revealed higher cell uptake of the nanoparticle compared to free dye indicative of better delivery, substantiated by a high rate of apoptosis-mediated cell death compared to free CDF. The significantly higher tumor accumulation and low liver and spleen uptake in TNBC patient-derived tumor xenograft models confirm the significant potential of BSA-CDF-ATZ for targeted TNBC imaging and therapy.

Abstract
A- and D-ring-modified luotonin-inspired heterocycles have been synthesized and were evaluated for their activity against the viability of four cancer cell lines in vitro, namely, MCF7, HCT116, JURKAT, and NCI-H460. The analysis of results indicated that two of the synthesized derivatives displayed good inhibition against the growth of the human colon cancer HCT116 cell line, with potencies lower than but in the same order of magnitude as camptothecin (CPT). These two luotonin analogues also showed an activity similar to that of the highly potent alkaloid CPT as inhibitors of topoisomerase I and also inhibited topoisomerase II. These results show that complete planarity is not a strict requirement for topoisomerase inhibition by luotonin-related compounds, paving the way to the design of analogues with improved solubility.

Abstract
The topoisomerase enzymes play an important role in DNA metabolism, and searching for enzyme inhibitors is an important target in the search for new anticancer drugs. Discovery of new anticancer chemotherapeutical capable of inhibiting topoisomerase enzymes is highlighted in anticancer research. Therefore, biologists, organic chemists and medicinal chemists all around the world have been identifying, designing, synthesizing and evaluating a variety of novel bioactive molecules targeting topoisomerase. This review summarizes types of topoisomerase inhibitors in the past decade, and divides them into nine classes by structural characteristics, including N-heterocycles compounds, quinone derivatives, flavonoids derivatives, coumarin derivatives, lignan derivatives, polyphenol derivatives, diterpenes derivatives, fatty acids derivatives, and metal complexes. Then we discussed the application prospect and development of these anticancer compounds, as well as concluded parts of their structural-activity relationships. We believe this review would be invaluable in helping to further search potential topoisomerase inhibition as antitumor agent in clinical usage.

Abstract
Hepatocellular cellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most challenging liver cancer subtypes. Due to lack of cell surface biomarkers and highly metastatic nature, early detection and targeted therapy of HCC is an unmet need. Galactosamine (Gal) is among the few selective ligands used for targeting HCCs due to its high binding affinity to asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPRs) overexpressed in HCC. In the present work, we engineered nanoscale G4 polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers anchored to galactosamine and loaded with the potent anticancer curcumin derivative (CDF) as a platform for targeted drug delivery to HCC. In vivo targeting ability and bio-distribution of PAMAM-Gal were assessed via its labeling with the clinically used, highly contrast, near infrared (NIR) dye: S0456, with testing of the obtained conjugate in aggressive HCC xenograft model. Our results highlighted the targeted dendrimer PAMAM-Gal ability to achieve selective high cellular uptake via ASGPR mediated endocytosis and significantly enhance the delivery of CDF into the studied HCC cell lines. Cytotoxicity MTT assays in HCC cell lines, interestingly highlighted, the comparative high potency of CDF, where CDF was more potent as a chemotherapeutic anticancer small molecule than the currently in use Doxorubicin, Sorafenib and Cisplatin chemotherapeutic agents. In conclusion the proof-of-concept study using nanoscale PAMAM-Gal dendrimer has demonstrated its competency as an efficient delivery system for selective delivery of potent CDF for HCC anticancer therapy as well as HCC diagnosis via NIR imaging.

Abstract
Topoisomerases are DNA processing enzymes that relieve supercoiling (torsional strain) in DNA, are necessary for normal cellular division, and act by nicking (and then religating) DNA strands. Type 1B topoisomerase (Top1) is overexpressed in certain tumors, and the enzyme has been extensively investigated as a target for cancer chemotherapy. Various chemical agents can act as "poisons" of the enzyme's religation step, leading to Top1-DNA lesions, DNA breakage, and eventual cellular death. In this review, agents that poison Top1 (and have thus been investigated for their anticancer properties) are surveyed, including natural products (such as camptothecins and indolocarbazoles), semisynthetic camptothecin and luotonin derivatives, and synthetic compounds (such as benzonaphthyridines, aromathecins, and indenoisoquinolines), as well as targeted therapies and conjugates. Top1 has also been investigated as a therapeutic target in certain viral and parasitic infections, as well as autoimmune, inflammatory, and neurological disorders, and a summary of literature describing alternative indications is also provided. This review should provide both a reference for the medicinal chemist and potentially offer clues to aid in the development of new Top1 poisons.

Abstract
Drug resistance is one of the significant clinical burden in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The development of drug resistance is attributed to many factors, including impairment of apoptosis, elevation of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX, a marker of tumor hypoxia), and infiltration of tumorigenic immune cells. To alleviate the drug resistance, we have used Sorafenib (Sor) in combination with tumor hypoxia directed nanoparticle (NP) loaded with a new class of apoptosis inducer, CFM 4.16 (C4.16), namely CA IX-C4.16. The NP is designed to selectively deliver the payload to the hypoxic tumor (core), provoke superior cell death in parental (WT) and Everolimus-resistant (Evr-res) RCC and selectively downmodulate tumorigenic M2-macrophage. Copper-free 'click' chemistry was utilized for conjugating SMA-TPGS with Acetazolamide (ATZ, a CA IX-specific targeting ligand). The NP was further tagged with a clinically approved NIR dye (S0456) for evaluating hypoxic tumor core penetration and organ distribution. Imaging of tumor spheroid treated with NIR dye-labeled CA IX-SMA-TPGS revealed remarkable tumor core penetration that was modulated by CA IX-mediated targeting in hypoxic-A498 RCC cells. The significant cell killing effect with synergistic combination index (CI) of CA IX-C4.16 and Sor treatment suggests efficient reversal of Evr-resistance in A498 cells. The CA IX directed nanoplatform in combination with Sor has shown multiple benefits in overcoming drug resistance through (i) inhibition of p-AKT, (ii) upregulation of tumoricidal M1 macrophages resulting in induction of caspase 3/7 mediated apoptosis of Evr-res A498 cells in macrophage-RCC co-culturing condition, (iii) significant in vitro and in vivo Evr-res A498 tumor growth inhibition as compared to individual therapy, and (iv) untraceable liver and kidney toxicity in mice. Near-infrared (NIR) imaging of CA IX-SMA-TPGS-S0456 in Evr-res A498 RCC model exhibited significant accumulation of CA IX-oligomer in tumor core with >3-fold higher tumor uptake as compared to control. In conclusion, this proof-of-concept study demonstrates versatile tumor hypoxia directed nanoplatform that can work in synergy with existing drugs for reversing drug-resistance in RCC accompanied with re-education of tumor-associated macrophages, that could be applied universally for several hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Background Spiropyrrolidine tethered piperidone heterocyclic hybrids were synthesized with complete regio- and stereoselectively in excellent yield via a tandem three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and subsequent enamine reaction in [bmim]Br. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity against FaDu hypopharyngeal tumor cells. Findings Interestingly, most compounds displayed cytotoxicities similar to the standard anticancer agent bleomycin, with two of them (5a and 5g) being slightly more active than the reference drug. Conclusion Synthesized compounds have also been evaluated for their apoptosis-inducing properties in a cancer cell model, finding that treatment with compounds 5a–e led to apoptotic cell death.![]() Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (10.1186/s13065-018-0462-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease that affects, among other areas, both sides of the Mediterranean Basin. The drugs classically used in clinical practice are pentavalent antimonials (SbV) and amphotericin B, which are nephrotoxic, require parenteral administration, and increasing drug resistance in visceral leishmaniasis has been observed. These circumstances justify the search of new families of compounds to find effective drugs against the disease. Eukaryotic type I DNA topoisomerase (TopIB) has been found essential for the viability of the parasites, and therefore represents a promising target in the development of an antileishmanial therapy. In this search, heterocyclic compounds, such as 1,5-naphthyridines, have been prepared by cycloaddition reaction between N-(3-pyridyl)aldimines and acetylenes and their antileishmanial activity on promastigotes and amastigote-infected splenocytes of Leishmania infantum has been evaluated. In addition, the cytotoxic effects of newly synthesized compounds were assessed on host murine splenocytes in order to calculate the corresponding selective indexes (SI). Excellent antileishmanial activity of 1,5-naphthyridine 19, 21, 22, 24 and 27 has been observed with similar activity than the standard drug amphotericin B and higher selective index (SI > 100) towards L. infantum amastigotes than amphotericin B (SI > 62.5). Special interest shows the 1,5-naphthyridine 22 with an IC50 value (0.58 ± 0.03 μM) similar to the standard drug amphotericin B (0.32 ± 0.05 μM) and with the highest selective index (SI = 271.5). In addition, this compound shows remarkable inhibition on leishmanial TopIB. However, despite these interesting results, further studies are needed to disclose other potential targets involved in the antileishmanial effect of these novel compounds.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive tumor subtype, lacking estrogen, progesterone and human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER-2) receptors. Thus, early detection and targeted therapy of TNBC is an urgent need. Herein, we have developed a CD44 targeting Hyaluronic Acid (HA) decorated biocompatible oligomer, containing FDA approved vitamin E TPGS and Styrene Maleic Anhydride (SMA) (HA-SMA-TPGS) for targeting TNBC. The self-assembling HA-SMA-TPGS was encapsulated with poorly water soluble, potent curcumin analogue (CDF) to form nanomicelles (NM), HA-SMA-TPGS-CDF has demonstrated excellent nanoparticle characteristics for parenteral delivery. The targeted NM can selectively kill TNBC cells through CD44 mediated apoptosis pathway. Tumor imaging using phase-2 clinical trial near infrared (NIR)-fluorescent dye (S0456) conjugate, HA-SMA-TPGS-S0456 showed excellent TNBC tumor accumulation with minimum liver and spleen uptake. To our best of knowledge, for the first time, we are reporting a promising platform for CD44 mediated multimodal NIR imaging and cytotoxin delivery to TNBC.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a difficult to treat disease due to the absence of the three unique receptors estrogen, progesterone and herceptin-2 (HER-2). To improve the current therapy and overcome the resistance of TNBC, there is unmet need to develop an effective targeted therapy. In this regard, one of the logical and economical approaches is to develop a tumor hypoxia-targeting drug formulation platform for selective delivery of payload to the drug-resistant and invasive cell population of TNBC tumors. Toward this, we developed a Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CA IX) receptor targeting human serum albumin (HSA) carriers to deliver the potent anticancer drug, Paclitaxel (PTX). We used Acetazolamide (ATZ), a small molecule ligand of CA IX to selectively deliver HSA-PTX in TNBC cells. A novel method of synthesis involving copper free ‘click’ chemistry (Dibenzocyclooctyl, DBCO) moiety with an azide-labeled reaction partner, known as Strain-Promoted Alkyne Azide Cycloaddition (SPAAC) along with a desolvation method for PTX loading were used in the present study to arrive at the CA IX selective nano-carriers, HSA-PTX-ATZ. The anticancer effect of HSA-PTX-ATZ is higher compared to HSA, PTX and non-targeted HSA-PTX in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells. The cell killing effect is associated with induction of early and late phases of apoptosis. Overall, our proof-of-concept study shows a promising avenue for hypoxia-targeted drug delivery that can be adapted to several types of cancers.
