MOA of PDC
In the present work, the cytotoxic drug SN-38 is coupled to the tumor-targeting T7 peptide via a cathepsin B cleavable VA peptide linker. This ensures that the drug remains covalently bound until it reaches the intended site of action, where Cat B is overexpressed to release the drug. Within this framework, our research pursuits entail the synthesis and characterization of a T7-SN-38-targeted drug conjugate using strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC). Our investigation extended to evaluating the cellular uptake and assessing the cytotoxicity of the drug conjugate in U87MG glioblastoma cells.

Description
Further, IC50values of SN-38 and T7-SN-38 on U87MG cells at 72 h were determined. An estimated IC50value of 26.41nM was obtained for SN-38, which was considerably lower than an IC50value of 70.07nM obtained for the T7-SN-38 conjugate. These IC50data confirm the greater cytotoxicity of the pure drug compared to the conjugate at 72 h (p< 0.05).
