Abstract
Description
Conjugated drugs targeting integrin receptors and their applications Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of anti-tumor drugs, and specifically relates to a polypeptide-coupled drug targeting integrin receptors, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Numerous studies have shown that the molecular expression patterns on the surfaces of tumor cells and tumor vascular endothelial cells differ significantly from those of normal cells, making it possible to distinguish tumor tissue from normal tissue. Using targeting peptides as carriers, PDCs are formed by chemically linking with cytotoxins. These peptides are then used to specifically target tumor cells, releasing the anticancer drug molecules they carry in the specific physiological environment of tumor cells or tissues (e.g., low pH, high expression of proteases, and high reducing properties). Receptor-targeted PDCs obtained based on the above mechanism have demonstrated more effective tumor treatment effects than free chemical drug molecules without peptide coupling in various tumor models, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and melanoma.

[0238] 8. hERG potassium channel function test
[0239] Experimental platform: electrophysiology manual patch clamp system
[0240] Cell line: Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line stably expressing hERG potassium channel
[0241] Experimental methods: CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells stably expressing hERG potassium channels were used to record hERG potassium channel currents using the whole-cell patch clamp technique at room temperature. Glass microelectrodes were pulled from glass electrode blanks (BF150-86-10, Sutter) using a puller. The tip resistance after perfusing the electrode liquid was about 2-5 MΩ. The glass microelectrode was inserted into the amplifier probe to connect to the patch clamp amplifier. The clamping voltage and data recording were controlled and recorded by a computer using pClamp 10 software, with a sampling frequency of 10 kHz and a filter frequency of 2 kHz. After obtaining the whole-cell recording, the cell was clamped at -80 mV to induce the hERG potassium current (I hERG ) was administered with a 2-second depolarization step from -80 mV to +20 mV, followed by repolarization to -50 mV for 1 second before returning to -80 mV. This voltage stimulus was administered every 10 seconds, and administration began after confirming that the hERG potassium current was stable (for at least 1 minute). Compounds were administered for at least 1 minute at each test concentration, and at least two cells (n ≥ 2) were tested for each concentration.
[0242] Data processing: Data analysis was performed using pClamp 10, GraphPad Prism 5, and Excel software. The degree of inhibition of hERG potassium current (peak hERG tail current induced at -50 mV) by different compound concentrations was calculated using the following formula: Inhibition% = [1–(I / Io)] × 100%
[0243] Wherein, Inhibition% represents the inhibition percentage of the compound on hERG potassium current, and I and Io represent the amplitude of hERG potassium current before and after drug addition, respectively.
[0244] Compound IC 50 Calculated using GraphPad Prism 5 software by fitting the following equation: Y = Bottom + (Top-Bottom) / (1 + 10^((LogIC50-X)*HillSlope))
[0245] Where X is the Log value of the test sample concentration, Y is the inhibition percentage at the corresponding concentration, and Bottom and Top are the minimum and maximum inhibition percentages, respectively.
[0246] Conclusion: The compounds of the present invention, such as the compounds in the examples, have no significant inhibitory effect on hERG potassium channel current.

Specific probe substrates for the CYP450 isoenzymes were incubated with human liver microsomes and varying concentrations of the test substances. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) was added to initiate the reaction. After the reaction, the samples were processed and the metabolites produced by the specific substrates were quantitatively detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS).
