RESUMO
@#Fibroblast activating protein (FAP) is an important biomarker of cancer associated fibroblasts and activated fibroblasts, which is highly expressed in activated fibroblasts of many tumor and fibrotic tissues, but not in normal tissues and non malignant lesions. Therefore, FAP has become an excellent target for diagnosis and treatment of tumors and other diseases. PET imaging and internal radiotherapy based on FAP inhibitor (FAPI) have been used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, such as cancer and fibrosis. We first introduce the mechanism of disease occurrence and progression mediated by FAP and its clinical significance as a therapeutic target.Then,we systematically summarize the FAP probes labeled with 125I, 68Ga, 64Cu and other radionuclides, including their structural evolution, imaging, biodistribution and pharmacokinetic properties.After that, the reported strategies to improve the pharmacokinetic properties and target affinity of probes are summarized, including the use of squaramide linkers,modification with albumin binding agent,the development of dual-targeting probes.Finally, some suggestions for the future development of novel radioactive probes targeting FAP and the clinical application of classical probes are proposed.
RESUMO
In 2015, more than 8 million people died from various kinds of cancers all over the world.Although traditional chemotherapeutic drugs are widely used in clinic, more than 50％ of cancers are significantly resistant to traditional chemotherapeutic drugs.Tubulin targeting agents have been confirmed to be effective anti-cancer drugs in clinic.However, some anti-microtubule agents developed resistance after long-term use, such as paclitaxel and vinblastine.In recent years, it is reported that tubulin modulators targeting on the colchicine-binding site are extremely effective against multi-drug resistant cancer cells.In this article, different anti-microtubule agents targeting multi-drug resistant cancers are reviewed.
RESUMO
We have determined three opioidmimetics (compounds I-III) in the rat brain dialysates after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of compounds I-III using a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The dialysate samples with methanol were directly analyzed by online column-switching liquid chromatography. Using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM, product ions m/z 421 of m/z 657 for compound I, m/z 421 of m/z 643 for compound II, and m/z 407 of m/z 629 for compound III) on LC-MS/MS with electrospray ionization (ESI), opioidmimetics in rat brain dialysates were determined. Calibration curves of the method showed a good linearity in the range of 10-100 ng/ml for each compound. The limit of determination was estimated to be ca. 1 ng/ml for compounds II and III, and ca. 5 ng/ml for compound I, respectively. The precision of analysis showed coefficients of variation ranging from 4.7 to 10.4% at compound III concentration (10-100 ng/ml) in Ringer's solution. As a result, the procedure proved to be very suitable for routine analysis. The method was applied to the analysis of three opioidmimetics in the brain dialysate samples from rats treated with these compounds.
