Gemcitabine (dFdC) demonstrates significant effectiveness against solid tumors in vitro and in vivo; however, its clinical application is limited because it tends to easily undergo deamination metabolism. Therefore, we synthesized 4-N-carbobenzoxy-gemcitabine (Cbz-dFdC) as a lead prodrug and conducted a detailed pharmacokinetic, metabolic, and pharmacodynamic evaluation. After intragastric Cbz-dFdC administration, the Cmax of Cbz-dFdC and dFdC was 451.1 ± 106.7 and 1656.3 ± 431.5 ng/mL, respectively. The Tmax of Cbz-dFdC and dFdC was 2 and 4 h, respectively. After intragastric administration of Cbz-dFdC, this compound was mainly distributed in the intestine due to low carboxylesterase-1 (CES1) activity. Cbz-dFdC is activated by CES1 in both humans and rats. The enzyme kinetic curves were well fitted by the Michaelis-Menten equation in rats' blood, plasma, and tissue homogenates and S9 of the liver and kidney, as well as human liver S9 and CES1 recombinase. The pharmacodynamic results showed that the Cbz-dFdC have a good antitumor effect in the HepG2 cell and in tumor-bearing mice, respectively. In general, Cbz-dFdC has good pharmaceutical characteristics and is therefore a good candidate for a potential prodrug.

Paragraph 0065; 0069, (2016/06/06)
The present disclosure provides cytidine derivative dimers, salts and compositions of the cytidine derivative dimers, and methods of making and using the cytidine derivative dimers that are useful for treating a neoplasm in mammalian subjects. A cytidine derivative dimer may have the following general formula (I): By molecularly designing such cytidine-based compounds, the disclosed cytidine-based derivative dimers/salts show significant inhibiting effects on HCT-116 human colon cancer cells, and exhibit strong growth inhibiting effects on HCT-116 human colon cancer xenografts grown in nude mice. The disclosed cytidine derivative dimers/salts provide high anti-tumor activity with low toxicity and are useful for treating cancers.
