Irinotecan(Camptosar)(CPT-11) 為化療三大用藥之一,唯其副作用具有噁心、嘔吐,大部分患者會有此症狀,於注射後 1 天內或 24 小時之後產生,故研究方針是針對於CPT-11在肝中經由CE轉化成SN-38此一具有藥物活性之成分,再經由UGT轉化成SN-38G進入胃腸道,但在進入腸道後SN38-G會經由大腸桿菌E-coli beta葡萄糖醛酸酶又轉化回SN-38,而SN-38會對腸道造成刺激致使出現嘔吐及腹瀉的副作用。 目前在實驗室中得知的E-coli beta葡萄糖醛酸酶抑制活性劑中,氮4-二苯基-1氫-咪唑並[4,3-c]喹淋-3,4-二胺擁有不錯的抑制性,而且對人類的beta葡萄糖醛酸酶是幾乎沒有毒性的。因此,在延續性的研究發展中,我們針對於藥物結構再接上新的醣基做水解酶的標靶探尋,希望可以找到一個對於E-coli beta 葡萄糖醛酸酶更好的抑制活性,或者利用醣類的水溶性,在醣類被水解酶給水解還原出標靶藥物前,都能夠經由醣基獲得較高的溶解度,在人體腸道中能水解釋放出來,達到一個很好的藥物傳遞效果。 本研究計畫是用三種醣類(葡萄糖,木醣,半乳糖)接上標靶藥物做方向性的探尋,製做其衍生物及其含有保護基的結構。
Irinotecan (Camptosar, Pfizer) is a drug for the treatment of cancer. It’s main use in colon cancer, in particular, in combination with 5-fluorouracil. Irinotecan received accelerated approval by FDA in 1996 and full approval in 1998. Now we usually called it CPT-11. However, it has significant side effects such as diarrhea and extreme suppression of the immune system. The dose-limiting side effect of the common colon cancer chemotherapeutic Irinotecan is severe diarrhea caused by symbiotic bacterial beta-glucuronidases (beta G) that reactivate the drug in the gut. We sought to target these enzymes without killing the commensal bacteria essential for human health. Potent bacterial -glucuronidase inhibitors were identified by high-throughput screening and shown to have no effect on the orthologous mammalian enzyme. Irinotecan causes severe diarrhea generated by its complex activation and subsequent metabolism. SN-38 produced by carboxylesterases is glucuronidated in the liver by uridine diphosphate (UDP)–glucuronosyltransferase enzymes to form inactive SN-38G. Once in the intestines, SN-38G serves as a substrate for bacterial -glucuronidase enzymes in the commensal microbiota that remove the glucuronide group as a carbon source, producing reactivated SN-38, that caused the diarrhea. Contain 1H-Pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin- 3-amine derivatives were found to possess potent E. coli G (eG) inhibitory activity without inhibition of human G. This thesis is aimed to further improve potency and selectivity of three sugar (glucose, galactose, xylose), Our results indicated that a number of sugar-bearing 1H-Pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin- 3-amine derivative exhibited more potent eG inhibitory activity than their respective aglycan counterparts.
