In this work, the new polysaccharide-platinum conjugates of 5-aminosalicylic acid modified lycium barbarum polysaccharide linking platinum compounds were designed in order to construct an anticancer metal drug delivery system. The multiple analysis methods were used to describe the chemical structure and physical properties of the polysaccharide-metal conjugates . The results showed that 5-aminosalicylic acid successfully acted as linker which was covalently bound between polysaccharide and platinum compound. The morphology and rheological properties of polysaccharide have been changed by the formation of conjugates, which exhibited certain inhibition specificity to A549 (human lung cancer cell line). The agarose gel electrophoresis and fluorescence microscopy results demonstrated that such conjugates promoted the unwinding of DNA and could significantly damage the nucleus of A549 cells. Cell cycle analyzing the Pt complex of conjugates could cause intracellular DNA damage and induced G2 phase arrest . So, polysaccharide-platinum conjugates might find a range of applications, for example in metal anticancer drug delivery.
In order to discover more effective and less toxic drugs in the field of anti-tumor, the backbone structure of 17 β -estradiol was modified, and 11 target compounds were synthesized. Compounds 5 and 10 , which exhibited better anti-tumor activity and higher selectivity (more than 10-fold), were chosen for further biological investigation. Flow cytometry results indicated that 5 and 10 could arrest MCF-7 cells in the G2 phase and induce apoptosis . Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that 5 and 10 could bind to the estradiol receptor alpha in MCF-7 cells. Western blotting and real-time PCR assays were performed to detect the effects of compounds on apoptosis-related targets at the protein and gene levels. These results showed that both 5 and 10 could dosed-dependently increase the expression of Apaf-1, Bax, caspase-3,8,9 and reduce the expression levels of the anti-apoptotic factors Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. Besides, the Human apoptosis array assay demonstrated the expression level of death receptor Trail R2/DR5 was upregulated obviously while the expression of TNF R1, IAPs and Hsp27/60/70 were downregulated. On the whole, 5 induced MCF-7 cell death through the endogenous pathway in mitochondria and the exogenous pathway with death receptor Trail R2/DR5.
