A double prodrug system for colon targeting of benzenesulfonamide COX-2 inhibitors.

چکیده
The design, synthesis and delivery potential of a new type of benzenesulfonamide cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor prodrug is investigated using celecoxib. The approach involves a double prodrug that is activated first by azoreductases and then by cyclization triggering drug release. We studied the intramolecular aminolysis of the acylsulfonamide. The cyclization was surprisingly rapid at physiological pH and very fast at pH 5. The prodrug is activated specifically under conditions found in the colon but highly stable in the presence of human and rodent intestinal extracts. Finally, the prototype with celecoxib was transported much more slowly in the Caco-2 transepithelial model than the parent. The design therefore shows significant promise for the site specific delivery of benzenesulfonamide COX-2 inhibitors to the colon.

متن کاملUsing cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors as molecular platforms to develop a new class of apoptosis-inducing agents.
BACKGROUND The cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib is thought to act as a chemopreventive agent by sensitizing cancer cells to apoptotic signals. Other COX-2 inhibitors, such as rofecoxib, are two orders of magnitude less potent than celecoxib at inducing apoptosis. The molecular structures of celecoxib and rofecoxib were used as starting points to examine the structural features that ...

COX inhibitors which selectively inhibits the inducible COX-2 is an oenzyme that causes inflammation. They are clinically effective anti-inflammatory agents with less gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. However, they lack anti-thrombotic activity and hence lead to increased incidences of adverse cardiovascular trombotic events such as myocardial infarction. Therefore, there is still a need to ...

Background: Immunotoxins are comprised of both the cell targeting and the cell killing moieties. We previously established a new immunotoxin, i.e. Shiga toxin granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (StxA1-GM-CSF), comprises of catalytic domain of Stx, as a killing moiety and GM-CSF, as a cell targeting moiety. In this study, the ability of the immunotoxin to induce apoptosis and dou...
