Cytotoxic Peptides: Naphthoquinonyl Derivatives of Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone
Tóm tắt
In an attempt to produce efficient cytotoxic derivatives of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), two novel 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives of [D-Lys6]-LH-RH were synthesized primarily by solid-phase peptide synthesis, in good yield and high purity. The ability of each analog to produce reactive oxygen species using enzymatic reduction, i.e. NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, was evaluated employing electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and spin-trapping techniques. The ESR results suggest that the novel cytotoxic analogs are extremely effective in generating oxygen radicals.
