Crystalline camptothecin-20(S)-O-propionate hydrate: a novel anticancer agent with strong activity against 19 human tumor xenografts.
To find a more effective and less toxic chemotherapeutic agent, we have successfully prepared crystalline camptothecin-20(S)-O-propionate hydrate (CZ48) by reacting camptothecin with propionic anhydride using concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. The biological effectiveness of this new anticancer agent was evaluated by using xenografts of human cancers in nude mice as the testing models. The...
متن کاملActivity of thymidine as a chemotherapeutic agent against human tumor xenografts in nude mice.
The chemotherapeutic activity of thymidine (dThd) was tested against four human tumor xenografts growing in nude mice, including a melanoma, an oat cell carcinoma of the lung, a colon carcinoma, and a breast carcinoma. Tumor-bearing mice were given an infusion of dThd (1 g/kg/day) s.c. for 72 hr each week for three weeks. Tumor growth in the treated mice was compared to that in randomized concu...
متن کاملAntiangiogenic effects of the novel camptothecin ST1481 (gimatecan) in human tumor xenografts.
ST1481 (gimatecan) is a novel lipophilic camptothecin with a promising preclinical pharmacological profile. On the basis of its high antitumor efficacy when delivered by the oral route, the compound is suitable for prolonged administration. This schedule of treatment has been reported as the most appropriate to exploit the antiangiogenic effects of cytotoxic drugs. The aim of the study was to i...
متن کاملPattern of antitumor activity of a novel camptothecin, ST1481, in a large panel of human tumor xenografts.
PURPOSE ST1481 is the lead compound of a novel series of 7-modified camptothecins, the 7-oxyimino methyl derivatives, characterized by potent topoisomerase I inhibition and cytotoxic activity. Based on its therapeutic efficacy in a human non-small cell lung carcinoma model and its favorable pharmacological profile, the novel analogue was selected for further preclinical development. EXPERIMEN...
متن کاملSulfuric Acid Catalyzed Preparation of Alkyl and Alkenyl Camptothecin Ester Derivatives and Antitumor Activity against Human Xenografts Grown in Nude Mice
Camptothecin-20-propinate (CZ48) and other camptothecin ester derivatives were prepared by the esterification reactions of camptothecin or 9-nitrocamptothecin with the corresponding acylating agents such as organic acid anhydride or chloride with concentrate sulfuric acid as the catalyst. The sulfuric acid-catalyzed reactions gave high yields of camptothecin ester products.Among the 11 compound...
