The invention belongs to the technical field of
medicinal chemistry, and particularly discloses a
platinum (IV)
prodrug with
ferroptosis and
apoptosis induction effects as well as a preparation method and application of the
platinum (IV)
prodrug. According to the invention, a novel
platinum (IV) compound with a
ferroptosis induction effect is developed based on platinum (IV) prodrugs of salazosulfapyridine, cis-platinum and
carboplatin; the platinum (IV)
prodrug disclosed by the invention shows excellent anti-proliferative activity to
cisplatin-sensitive and
drug-resistant
triple negative breast cancer cells, and compared with
cisplatin, the platinum (IV) prodrug has
lower activity to a normal
mammary gland cell line (MCF-10A). Accumulation of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells can be improved by inducing
DNA damage, and a mitochondrial dependent approach is activated to induce
apoptosis. Meanwhile, accumulation of
lipid peroxide can be remarkably promoted, xCT and GPX4 levels are reduced, and mitochondrial morphological change is induced to stimulate
ferroptosis;
in vivo, the cis-platinum (IV) prodrug shows strong anti-tumor activity in an MDA-MB-231 / CDDP xenograft model, and the cis-platinum (IV) prodrug has strong anti-tumor activity; the platinum (IV) prodrug has a potential application prospect in
targeted therapy of
triple negative breast cancer.
