Abstract | Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed men's cancers and remains one of the leading causes of cancer death. The development of approaches to the treatment of this oncological disease is an ongoing process. In this work, we have carried out the selection of ligands for the creation of conjugates based on the drug docetaxel and synthesized a series of three docetaxel conjugates. In vitro cytotoxicity of these molecules was evaluated using the MTT assay. Based on the assay results, we selected the conjugate which showed cytotoxic potential close to unmodified docetaxel. At the same time, the molar solubility of the resulting compound increased up to 20 times in comparison with the drug itself. In vivo evaluation on 22Rv1 (PSMA+) xenograft model demonstrated a good potency of the synthesized conjugate to inhibit tumor growth: the inhibition turned out to be more than 80% at a dose of 30 mg/kg. Pharmacokinetic parameters of conjugate distribution were analyzed. Also, it was found that PSMA-targeted docetaxel conjugate is less toxic than docetaxel itself, the decrease of molar acute toxicity in comparison with free docetaxel was up to 20%. Obtained conjugate PSMA-DOC is a good candidate for further expanded preclinical trials because of high antitumor activity, fewer side toxic effects and better solubility. |
