FIELDOFTHEINVENTION
Thepresentinventionrelatestoaspecificconjugateofcytotoxicdrugsandprodrugformsof
saidconjugate,foruseintreatingcancerandinflammatorydiseases.
TECHNICALBACKGROUND
Cancerandinflammatorydiseasesareamongthemostfrequentillnessesnowadays.In
particular,cancerisoneofthemostimportantcauseofdeathinindustrializedcountries,andthenumberofpeoplediagnosedwithcancercontinuestogrowatthecurrenttime.
Severaltreatmentmodeshavebeendevelopedsofar,howeverchemotherapyremainstheonlyonethatcanbeusedagainstcirculatingtumors,suchaslymphomasandleukemias,and
metastases.
Inchemotherapy,onestrategyliesininhibitingpolymerizationoftubulinandthuspreventingcelldivision(antimitotics).Thiscanbeachievedbyusingcompoundsofthedolastatinfamily,
inparticular,naturaldolastatin10,whichcanbeisolatedfromtheIndianOceanseahare
Dolabellaauriculariaandconsistsoffouramino-acids,threeofwhichbeingspecificthereto.Syntheticderivativesofdolastatin10suchasauristatinPE,auristatinEandmonomethyl
auristatinE(MMAE)alsoexistandhaveproventobeefficientinhibitors.Themajorflawofsuchcompoundsliesinthelackofselectivitytowardscancercells,resultinginthedestruction
