Abstract
BACKGROUND Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer and is notorious for its resistance to both chemotherapy and small-molecule inhibitor targeted therapies. Subcellular targeted cancer therapy may thwart the resistance to produce a substantial effect. METHODS We tested whether the resistance can be circumvented by subcellular targeted cancer therapy with DZ-CIS, which is a chemical conjugate of the tumor-cell specific heptamethine carbocyanine dye (HMCD) with cisplatin (CIS), a chemotherapeutic drug with limited use in ccRCC treatment because of frequent renal toxicity. RESULTS DZ-CIS displayed cytocidal effects on Caki-1, 786-O, ACHN, and SN12C human ccRCC cell lines and mouse Renca cells in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited ACHN and Renca tumor formation in experimental mouse models. Noticeably, in tumor-bearing mice, repeated DZ-CIS use did not cause renal toxicity, in contrast to the CIS-treated control animals. In ccRCC tumors, DZ-CIS treatment inhibited proliferation markers but induced cell death marker levels. In addition, DZ-CIS at half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) sensitized Caki-1 cells to small-molecule mTOR inhibitors. Mechanistically, DZ-CIS selectively accumulated in ccRCC cells' subcellular organelles, where it damages the structure and function of mitochondria, leading to cytochrome C release, caspase activation, and apoptotic cancer cell death. CONCLUSIONS Results from this study strongly suggest DZ-CIS be tested as a safe and effective subcellular targeted cancer therapy.

Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol 2020; 16:907-925. [PMID: 33016786 DOI: 10.1080/17425255.2020.1789590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Introduction: Platinum-derived drugs are commonly used for the treatment of solid tumors. The differences in chemical structures of these molecules lead to different pharmacological properties, in terms of indication, efficacy, and toxicity. Their pharmacokinetics (PK) differ according to their respective renal elimination and have led to many studies investigating their dose optimization. Area covered: This review attempts to summarize and compare PK and pharmacodynamics of cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, with an emphasis on differences of dose calculations and opportunities for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in various patient populations. Expert opinion: Although cisplatin and carboplatin can be considered as analogs since they share the same DNA interacting properties, the slower hydrolysis of the latter results in a better safety profile. Carboplatin is the only drug in oncology to be administrated according to a target area under the curve of concentration versus time, considering that its PK variability is almost fully explained by renal function, not by body size. This enables individual dosing based on predicted carboplatin clearance (along with patients renal characteristics) or on actual clearance with TDM, especially in a high-dose protocol.
