Although a myriad of bioorthogonal prodrugs have been developed, very few of them present both fast reaction kinetics and complete cleavage. Herein, we report a new bioorthogonal prodrug strategy with both fast reaction kinetics (k2: ~103 M-1 s-1) and complete cleavage (>90% within minutes) using the bioorthogonal reaction pair of N-oxide and boron reagent. Distinctively, an innovative 1,6-elimination-based self-immolative linker is masked by N-oxide, which can be bioorthogonally demasked by a boron reagent for the release of both amino and hydroxy-containing payload in live cells. Such a strategy was applied to prepare a bioorthogonal prodrug for a camptothecin derivative, SN-38, resulting in 10-fold weakened cytotoxicity against A549 cells, 300-fold enhanced water solubility, and on-demand activation upon a click reaction both in vitro and in vivo. This novel bioorthogonal prodrug strategy presents significant advances over the existing ones and may find wide applications in drug delivery in the future.

In this work, a folate receptor (FR)-mediated dual-targeting drug delivery system was synthesized to improve the tumor-killing efficiency and inhibit the side effects of anticancer drugs. We designed and synthesized an FR-mediated fluorescence probe (FA-Rho) and FR-mediated cathepsin B-sensitive drug delivery system (FA-GFLG-SN38). FA-GFLG-SN38 is composed of the FR ligand (folic acid, FA), the tetrapeptide substrate for cathepsin B (GFLG), and an anticancer drug (SN38). The rhodamine B (Rho)-labeled probe FA-Rho is suitable for specific fluorescence imaging of SK-Hep-1 cells overexpressing FR and inactive in FR-negative A549 and 16-HBE cells. FA-GFLG-SN38 exhibited strong cytotoxicity against FR-overexpressing SK-Hep-1, HeLa, and Siha cells, with IC50 values of 2-3 μM, but had no effect on FR-negative A549 and 16-HBE cells. The experimental results show that the FA-CFLG-SN38 drug delivery system proposed by us can effectively inhibit tumor proliferation in vitro, and it can be adopted for the diagnostics of tumor tissues and provide a basis for effective tumor therapy.

The invention relates to a preparation method of irinotecan hydrochloride. Its steps are: parent ring to camptothecin as raw material generated by the reaction with the aldehyde 7 - ethyl camptothecin; hydrogen peroxide oxidation then N - oxide - 7 - ethyl camptothecin; by the illumination rearrangement 7 - ethyl - 10 - hydroxy camptothecin; 4 - piperidyl with dimethyl carbonate reaction to produce 4 - piperidyl carbonic acid methyl ester; 7 - ethyl - 10 - hydroxy camptothecin with 4 - piperidyl carbonic acid methyl ester reaction generating irinotecan monomer; irinotecan monomers with hydrochloric salt to obtain the finished product of the irinotecan hydrochloride. Compared with the prior art, the present invention avoid the use of phosgene in the reaction process, chloroform poisonous substance, in production with safe, convenient, less pollution and the like; in addition, the synthetic method avoids the need of the prior process in the defects of the chromatographic column separation and purification, reduces the production cost of the irinotecan, has great economic benefit.
