Research in vivo the qualities of potential antitumor amino-acid derivatives of glycosides of indolocarbazol

Abstract

Background. The addition of active metabolites (in particular, amino acids) to the molecule affects the physicochemical and prodrug properties of derivatives of indolocarbazoles. Using computed chemoinformatics, probability antitumor activity of amino-acid derivatives of glycosides of indolocarbazol (AADGI) is predicted with low probability of their cytotoxic activity in vitro. Based on these data, a study of these compounds in vivo is conducted. Objective: the assessment of AADGI as potential antitumor medications. Materials and methods. Research antitumor activity of AADGI was done using murine tumor models - cervical cancer CC-5. Investigated compounds were injected to mice СВА abdominally 5-times daily with interval of 24 h. Observation of animals were continued till their death. Antitumor effect of compounds was assessed by criteria of tumor growth inhibition and increase in life expectancy of mice comparing to control animals. Results. The optimal dose for these series of compounds was titrated and this dose is 100 mg/kg. Antitumor activity of AADGI was assessed on CC-5. Conclusions. Based on data received we suggest an extended study in vivo of antitumor qualities of selected 5 leader AADGI.
