Experiment 1 Reporting the Activity Data of This PDC [1]
Indication Glioblastoma
Efficacy Data Half Maximal Inhibitory Concentration (IC50)
5.70 ± 0.22 µM
Administration Time 48 h
Evaluation Method CCK-8 assay
MOA of PDC
Both conjugates exhibited targeted antiproliferative effects on TfR overexpressed tumor cells and little toxicity to TfR low-expressed normal cells compared with free DOX. Moreover, the DT7-SS-DOX conjugate possessed higher serum stability, more sustained reduction-triggered drug release characteristics, and stronger in vitro antiproliferative activity as compared to LT7-SS-DOX.

Description
DT7-SS-DOX exhibited good in vitro antiproliferative activity against the three tumor cell lines, with IC50 values of 5.70 ± 0.22 μM (U87), 7.01 ± 1.64 μM (HepG2), and 20.61 ± 4.81 μM (A549), respectively.

Description
The proliferation inhibitory activity of LT7-SS-DOX was the weakest among the three drugs because the cell viabilities of U87, HepG2, and A549 cells after incubation with LT7-SS-DOX (equal DOX concentration of 20 μM) for 48 h were 95.1%, 73.1%, and 83.2%, respectively.
