A Model for Light‐Triggered Porphyrin Anticancer Prodrugs Based on an o‐Nitrobenzyl Photolabile Group

Abstract: A model for light-triggered porphyrin anticancer prodrug 1 was designed and synthesized. Upon photolysis, prodrug 1 can efficiently liberate the anticancer drug tegafur. The MTT assay demonstrates that prodrug 1 is significantly less toxic than its parent drug tegafur, and 1 can release tegafur upon photoactivation in vitro. The light-triggered porphyrin anti-

“…This photo-dependent enzyme inhibition was eliminated by the addition of thiols to the irradiated solution, but it is still commonly reported in the literature that this by-product may produce unwanted side effects in vivo [15]. However, there has been little reported evidence to support this claim and it is likely that the presence of reduced thiols in the cell protect them from damage [58,59]. Also, many of the photochemically triggered drug-delivery systems discussed in this section either require UV light or they are more efficiently actuated by UV light.…”

“…It is, however, arguable to what extent the growth inhibition of bacterial cells is representative for cytotoxic activity on human tumor cells. Another prodrug design based on 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was published by Lin et al [86] Compound 54 ( Figure 23) is composed of three parts: the 5-fluorouracil prodrug (tegafur), [87] a porphyrin, and a linker based on the ONP scaffold. The porphyrin was included in the design because of its affinity for tumor cells.…”

“…11 Recently, photolabile o-nitrobenzyl linkers were utilized to design light-triggered anticancer pro-drugs which released the tegafur drug from porphyrins upon photolysis. 12 oNitrobenzyl linkers have advantages due to their compatibility with a variety of functional groups, ease of synthesis, stability under ambient light, clean cleavage and fast fragmentation upon photoirradiation. 13 In the present work, we develop the necessary synthetic methodologies for the construction of labile systems for porphyrin photosensitizers based on the o-nitrobenzyl linker group and selected bioconjugates.…”
