Real-time tracking of prodrug uptake, delivery and activation in vivo represents a major challenge for prodrug development. Herein, we demonstrate the use of novel glycosylated theranostics of the cancer pharmacophore Amonafide in highly-selective, enzyma

Disseminated tumors lead to approximately 90% of cancer-associated deaths especially for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), indicating the imperative need of antimetastatic drugs and the ineffectiveness of current therapies. Recently polyamine derivatives have been identified as a promising prospect in dealing with metastatic tumors. Herein, a novel class of naphthalimide-polyamine conjugates 8a-8d, 13a-13c, 17 and 21 were synthesized and the mechanism was further determined. The polyamine conjugate 13b displayed remarkably elevated anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects (76.01% and 75.02%) than the positive control amonafide (46.91% and 55.77%) at 5 mg/kg in vivo. The underlying molecular mechanism indicated that in addition to induce DNA damage by up-regulating p53 and γH2AX, 13b also targeted lysosome to modulate polyamine metabolism and function in a totally different way from that of amonafide. Furthermore, the HMGB1/p62/LC3II/LC3I and p53/SSAT/β-catenin pathways were mainly involved in the inhibition of 13b-induced HCC metastasis by targeting polyamine transporters (PTs) overexpressed in HCC. At last, 13b down-regulated the concentrations of Put, Spd and Spm by modulating polyamine metabolism key enzymes SSAT and PAO, which favored the suppression of fast growing tumor cells. Taken together, our study implies a promising strategy for naphthalimide conjugates to treat terminal cancer of HCC by targeting autophagy and tumor microenvironment with reduced toxicities and notable activities.

We synthesized a series of novel 3-carboranyl-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives, mitonafide and pinafide analogs, using click chemistry, reductive amination and amidation reactions and investigated their in vitro effects on cytotoxicity, cell death, cell cycle, and the production of reactive oxygen species in a HepG2 cancer cell line. The analyses showed that modified naphthalic anhydrides and naphthalimides bearing ortho-or meta-carboranes exhibited diversified activity. Naphthalimides were more cytotoxic than naphthalic anhydrides, with the highest IC50 value determined for compound 9 (3.10 μM). These compounds were capable of inducing cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 or G2M phase and promoting apoptosis, autophagy or ferroptosis. The most promising conjugate 35 caused strong apoptosis and induced ROS production, which was proven by the increased level of 2′-deoxy-8-oxoguanosine in DNA. The tested conjugates were found to be weak topoisomerase II inhibitors and classical DNA intercalators. Compounds 33, 34, and 36 fluorescently stained lysosomes in HepG2 cells. Additionally, we performed a similarity-based assessment of the property profile of the conjugates using the principal component analysis. The creation of an inhibitory profile and descriptor-based plane allowed forming a structure–activity landscape. Finally, a ligand-based comparative molecular field analysis was carried out to specify the (un)favorable structural modifications (pharmacophoric pattern) that are potentially important for the quantitative structure– activity relationship modeling of the carborane–naphthalimide conjugates.
