Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), also called Liver cancer, is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the leading cause of death amongst cirrhotic patients.
Since there are asialoglycoprotein receptors, ASGP-R, in the surface of livers, ASGP-R can identify the structure of galactose. In this study, We tried to synthesize a lactose-bound compound, in order to drive the cancer-therapy compound into liver cells easily. Transformation of dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) [ Fe(CO)2(NO)2 ] into{Fe(NO)2}9-{Fe(NO)2}9 [Fe(μ-S-C2- Lactose)(NO)2 ]2 ( Sugar RRE ), triggered by Lactose-C2-Disulfide. The water solubility of Sugar RRE makes it difficult to get single-crystal X-ray structure, so the structure of Sugar RRE was validated by mass spectrum, infrared spectrum, UV-visible spectrometer and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR).In series of assay, human liver cancer cell (HePG-2) was adopted as an experimental model . We expected that the binding of Sugar-RRE to ASGP-R is sospecific that RRE can penetrate into liver cancer cells easily, converted into DNICs and then release NO to kill liver cancer cells.
