Folic acid conjugates of a bleomycin mimic for selective targeting of folate receptor positive cancer cells.

Abstract:

:A major challenge in the application of cytotoxic anti-cancer drugs is their general lack of selectivity, which often leads to systematic toxicity due to their inability to discriminate between malignant and healthy cells. A particularly promising target for selective targeting are the folate receptors (FR) that are often over-expressed on cancer cells. Here, we report on a conjugate of the pentadentate nitrogen ligand N4Py to folic acid, via a cleavable disulphide linker, which shows selective cytotoxicity against folate receptor expressing cancer cells.
