Abstract
En 中文
Albumin-binding prodrugs represent a pharmacological strategy to improve systemic stability and tumor exposure of cytotoxic agents. Legumain, an asparagine endopeptidase selectively activated in the acidic tumor microenvironment, provides a mechanism for tumor-specific prodrug activation. In this study, we developed WC10-003, a legumain-responsive albumin-binding prodrug of belotecan, and investigated its pharmacological properties and antitumor activity in ovarian cancer models.
