Аннотация:Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer among men. The main method of its treatment is chemotherapy, which has a wide range of side effects. One of the solutions to this challenge is targeted delivery to prostate cancer cells. Here we performed the synthesis of novel small-molecule PSMA-targeted conjugate based on the monomethyl auristatin E. Its structure and conformational properties were investigated by NMR spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity, intracellular reactive oxygen species induction, and stability under liver microsomes and P450-cytochrome species were investigated for this conjugate. Conjugate demonstrated 77-85% tumor growth inhibition level on 22Rv1 (PSMA+) xenografts in comparison with 37% on PC-3 (PSMA-) xenografts in a single dose of 0.3 mg/kg and a sufficiently high therapeutic index of 21. Acute, chronic, subchronic toxicities and pharmacokinetics have shown that the synthesized conjugate is a promising potential agent for chemotherapy of prostate cancer.
