NQO1-responsive prodrug
NQO1-responsive prodrug is a prodrug of Gemcitabine (dFdC) (HY-17026) with anti-cancer effect. NQO1-responsive prodrug remains stable in plasma and liver/intestinal S9 fractions, releasing dFdC in an NQO1-dependent manner. NQO1-responsive prodrug induces S-phase arrest and apoptosis. NQO1-responsive prodrug inhibits tumor growth in an A549 xenograft mouse model. NQO1-responsive prodrug can be used for breast and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) research.

Biological Activity
NQO1-responsive prodrug (compound 2) (72 h) exhibits antiproliferative activity against both A549 (IC50 = 0.21 μM) and MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 0.49 μM), and demonstrates selectivity towards A549 cells over L02 cells with a selectivity ratio (SR) value of 5.52[1].
NQO1-responsive prodrug (0.08-0.8 μM, 24-36 h) inhibits A549 cell proliferation and migration in a dose-dependent manner, showing excellent antitumor potency in vitro and being more potent than dFdC[1].
NQO1-responsive prodrug (100-400 nM, 24 h) induces S phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].
NQO1-responsive prodrug (300 μM, 0-480 min) releases dFdC in an NQO1-dependent manner[1].
NQO1-responsive prodrug exhibits good stability in rat plasma and liver/intestinal S9 fractions[1].
NQO1-responsive prodrug (2 μM, 24 h) is metabolized within A549 cells to produce less of the inactive metabolite dFdU compared to dFdC, and it overcomes the resistance to dFdC due to reduced cellular uptake and increased deamination[1].

-
Animal Model:BALB/c nude mice (3-5 weeks old) subcutaneously injected with A549 cells[1]
-
Dosage:0.1 and 0.2 mmol/kg
-
Administration:i.p., twice a week for 21 days
-
Result:Effectively inhibited tumor growth at a dose of 0.1 mmol/kg, resulting in a TGI value of 55.0% and a treatment/control ratio (T/C) value of 49.9%.
Its antitumor activity was significantly enhanced when the dosage was increased from 0.1 mmol/kg to 0.2 mmol/kg, yielding a TGI of 65.8% and a T/C ratio of 39.1%.
Showed no significant weight loss.
