Synthesis and characterization of a photoresponsive doxorubicin/combretastatin A4 hybrid prodrug

Add time:08/30/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

To explore the application of photoremovable protecting groups (PPGs) in the field of combination chemotherapy, we designed and synthesized a photoresponsive hybrid prodrug 4 that bearing both doxorubicin (DOX) and combretastatin A4 (CA4). Light triggered drug release investigation found that DOX release was mainly accomplished by 405 nm light while CA4 release was mainly triggered by 365 nm light, i.e., prodrug 4 exhibited a quasi-sequential release behavior when a sequential light irradiation strategy was applied. Cell viability evaluation confirmed the increased cytotoxicity of prodrug 4 compared with individual drugs towards MDA-MB-231cells, indicating that a synergistic effect was achieved.
