Abstract: Glucocorticoid, such as dexamethasone (Dex) is often used along with chemotherapy to antagonize side effects of chemotherapy. However, sustained use of Dex frequently develops drug resistance in patients. As a strategy to re-induce drug sensitivity, we planned to modify Dex by chemically conjugating it with twin ten carbon aliphatic chain containing cationic lipid. The resultant molecule, DX10, inhibited STAT3 activation through lowering the production of IL-6. To enhance the STAT3 inhibitory effect of DX10, we used WP (a commercially available STAT3 inhibitor) along with DX10. Combination treatment of both significantly inhibited STAT3 activation when compared to either of the individual treatment. The effect of DX10, either in combination or alone, was mediated through glucocorticoid receptor (GR), thereby repurposing the role of GR in the context of p-STAT3 inhibition-mediated cancer treatment. Cellular viability study proved the synergistic effect of WP and DX10. Further, combination treatment led to induction of early stage of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. In vivo melanoma tumor regression study confirmed the enhanced anti-tumor activity of co-treatment over individual treatment of DX10 or WP. Thus, together our result demonstrates that DX10 may be used in combination therapy with STAT3 inhibitor like WP for combating cancer with constitutively active STAT3.

Cisplatin (CDDP) is an extensively used chemotherapeutic agent but has a high incidence of severe ototoxicity. Although a few molecules have entered clinical trials, none have been approved to prevent or treat CDDP-induced hearing loss by the Food and Drug Administration. In this study, an amphiphilic drug-drug conjugate was synthesized by covalently linking dexamethasone (DEX) and salvianolic acid B (SAL) through an ester or amide bond. The conjugates could self-assemble into nanoparticles (NPs) with ultrahigh drug loading capacity and favorable stability. Compared with DEX, SAL, or their physical mixture at the same concentrations, both conjugates and NPs showed enhanced otoprotection in vitro and in vivo. More importantly, the conjugates and NPs almost completely restored hearing in a guinea pig model with good biocompatibility. Immunohistochemical analyses suggested that conjugates and NPs activated the glucocorticoid receptor, which may work as one of the major mechanisms for their protective effects.

The syntheses of N-[10-(9α-fluoro-11β,17α-dihydroxy-16α-methyl-3- oxoandrosta-1,4-diene-17β-carboxamido)decyl]gibberellamide (7) and 6-[({N-[10-(9α-fluoro-11β,17α-dihydroxy-16α-methyl-3- oxoandrosta-1,4-diene-17β-carboxamido)decyl]carbamoyl}methoxy)imino] -24-epicastasterone (10) are described. [(Benzotriazol-1-yl)oxy]bis(pyrrolidin-1-yl)methylium hexafluorophosphate (HBPyU) was used as the coupling agent for the reaction of gibberellic acid as well as of 24-epicastasterone-O-(carboxymethyl)oxime with N-(10-aminodecyl)-9αfluoro-11β,17α-hydroxy-16α- methyl-3-oxoandrosta-1,4-diene-17β-carboxamide (4). The gibberellic acid conjugate 7 was also synthesised by the coupling of succinimidyl gibberellate 6 with amine 4.
Cationic lipid-conjugated dexamethasone as a selective antitumor agent

Dexamethasone (Dex) is one of the highly potent synthetic glucocorticoids. It exhibits prominent anti-inflammatory but moderate anti-proliferative activities. It is widely used along side chemotherapy to alleviate toxic side effects. Additionally, Dex is also a potent inducer of gluconeogenesis. However, its overuse critically desensitizes cells against chemotherapy. Herein, we report on the development of a new class of cationic lipid-Dex conjugates in which the C-8 carbon chain analogue (DX8) exhibited glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-mediated, caspase-3-assisted, cancer cell-selective anti-proliferative activity. Melanoma tumors in DX8-treated mice exhibited significantly reduced tumor aggressiveness with respect to tumors in Dex-treated mice. Tumor lysates prepared from DX8-treated group showed elevated levels of p53. DX8-treated cancer cells showed clear degradation of kinase JAK3/STAT3 protein levels. Additionally, DX8-treatment decreased the level of VEGFR2 in tumor-endothelial cells implying DX8's anti-proliferative roles in both tumor cells and tumor neovascular cells. Collectively, our results demonstrate potent anti-angiogenic, and selective JAK3/STAT3 down-regulating anticancer characteristics of DX8, a new dexamethasone-based antitumor molecule.

A new concept in design of safe glucocorticoid therapy was introduced by conjugating potent glucocorticoid steroids with macrolides (macrolactonolides). These compounds were synthesized from various steroid 17β-carboxylic acids and 9a-N-(3-aminoalkyl) derivatives of 9-deokso-9a-aza-9a-homoeritromicin A and 3-descladinosyl-9-deokso-9a-aza-9a-homoeritromicin A using stable alkyl chain. Combining property of macrolides to preferentially accumulate in immune cells, especially in phagocyte cells, with anti-inflammatory activity of classic steroids, we designed molecules which showed good anti-inflammatory activity in ovalbumin (OVA) induced asthma in rats. The synthesis, in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of this novel class of compounds are described.
