摘要
Antitumor efficacy of ursolic acid (UA) is seriously limited due to its low hydrophilicity and needy bioavail-ability. To overcome these obstacles, chemosensitive polyspermine (CPSP) conjugated with UA and folic acid (FA) as a novel targeted prodrug was designed and successfully synthesized in this investigation. This prodrug not only showed high aqueous solubility, GSH-triggered degradation and good biocompatibility, but also exhibited better inhibition effect on the tumor cells proliferation in comparison with free UA. FA-CPSP-UA could down-regulate the generation of GSH and manifest excellent ability in enhancing antitumor efficacy. In addition, FA-CPSP-UA could inhibit the expression of MMP-9, which led to restricting MCF-7 cells migration. Taken together, the results indicated that FA-CPSP-UA, as a carrier, can efficiently deliver UA to folate receptor positive cancer cells and improve tumor therapy of UA by Chemosensitive effect.
