Popis: We describe the synthesis of drug-dye conjugate 1 between anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor Crizotinib and heptamethine cyanine dye IR-786. The drug-dye conjugate 1 was evaluated in three different patient-derived glioblastoma cell lines and showed potent cytotoxic activity with nanomolar potency (EC50: 50.9 nM). We also demonstrate evidence for antiproliferative activity of 1 with single digit nanomolar potency (IC50: 4.7 nM). Furthermore, the cytotoxic effects conveyed a dramatic, 110-fold improvement over Crizotinib. This improvement was even more pronounced (492-fold) when 1 was combined with Temozolomide, the standard drug for treatment for glioblastoma. This work lays the foundation for future exploration of similar tyrosine kinase inhibitor drug-dye conjugates for the treatment of glioblastoma.
