Abstract:
Conjugates of carminomycin (Cm) with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were prepared and their cytotoxic activities were studied in vitro. Both conjugates showed cytotoxic activity which exceeded that of free Cm in tumor cell cultures of MCF-7, SKOV3, QOS, P388 and B16 cells. The antitumor effects of the conjugates were studied in vivo in mice with subcutaneous tumors of B16 and P388 cells. The Cm-AFP and Cm-EGF conjugates inhibited tumor growth and noticeably increased the mean life span in experimental animals. Our results suggest that the therapeutic activity of Cm can be significantly enhanced by conjugation to AFP or EGF.
