Description
Summary:碩士 === 東海大學 === 應用化學系 === 81 === This thesis reports the synthesis of two groups of new antitumor drugs which are the conjugates of linear dipeptides and the cyto-toxic agent DMQ-MA。The first group is: DMQ-MA-Gly -Gly-NH, DMQ-MA-β-Ala-Gly-NH, DMQ-MA-Ala-Gly-NH, DMQ-MQ- Val-Gly-NH。 Since the ICof DMQ-MA-Gly-NH is 40 times lower than that of DMQ-MA, 120 times lower than that of DMQ-MA-Ala-NH ,thus ,it is logical to synthesize the dipeptides containing Gly-NHas drug carriers of DMQ-MA。 We also investigate the possibility of using enzymatic reactions for the synthesis of these conjugates。In the enzymatic reactions DMQ-MA-Ala-OMe, DMQ-MA-Val-OMe, DMQ-MA-Phe-OMe and DMQ-MA-Arg-OMe are chosen as acyl donors and Gly-NH ,Ala-NH ,and Phe-NH are nucleophiles。 The enzyme chosen is alcalase。Only DMQ-MA-Ala-Gly-NHand DMQ- MA-Phe-Gly-NH can be sucessfully synthesized by the alcalase method, and the yield is lower than that of organic synthesis。 The second group is DMQ-MA-Gly-Arg-OMe, DMQ-MA-β -Ala-Arg-OMe, DMQ-MA-Gaba-Arg-OMe and DMQ-MA-Ile-Arg-OMe。 Since the charge density of malignant cell surface is different from that of normal cells , the peptides containing positive charge amino acid like Arg may bind to malignant cells more efficiently than DMQ-MA itself.
