Comparative Analysis of Promising Antineoplastic Drugs for Prostate Carcinoma Therapy in in vitro Experiments
摘要
The paper presents the results of investigating three new PSMA-molecules: PSMA-BQ7876, PSMA-D1, and PSMA-D2, which are considered as ligands for targeted radionuclide therapy of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Beta-emitting lutetium-177 radionuclide obtained by the activation method from an ytterbium target (Yb-176) in the reactor neutron flux is considered as a drug agent in the ligand composition. The investigations were conducted using the method of direct comparative analysis in which a PSMA-617 molecule-based drug was selected as a pharmaceutical prototype. An assessment has been made of the specificity and cytotoxic activity of PSMA-complexes with respect to tumor cells: cells hyperexpressing a PSMA-antigen (22RV1 cell culture) and cells with low PSMA expression (PC3 cell cultures).
