Popis: | We report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of natural product-drug conjugates for treatment of prostate cancers over-expressing the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel. We validate the relevance of TRPV1 as a target in prostate cancer patients by using a bioinformatics approach and provide proof-of-concept for the drug delivery strategy through bioorthogonal chemistry and stability assays under simulated physiological conditions. In cell-based assays, the constructs displayed modest activity. Moreover, we serendipitously discover that a stoichiometric combination of a TRPV1 agonist with a small, positively charged cytotoxic may provide new research avenues in personalized medicines for prostate cancer. |
