Abstract

Antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT) has the potential of greatly enhancing antitumor selectivity of cancer therapy by synthesizing chemotherapeutic agents selectively at tumor sites. This therapy is based upon targeting a prodrug-activating enzyme to a tumor by attaching the enzyme to a tumor-selective antibody and dosing the enzyme-antibody conjugate systemically. After the enzyme-antibody conjugate is localized to the tumor, the prodrug is then also dosed systemically, and the previously targeted enzyme converts it to the active drug selectively at the tumor. Unfortunately, most enzymes capable of this specific, tumor site generation of drugs are foreign to the human body and as such are expected to raise an immune response when injected, which will limit their repeated administration. We reasoned that with the power of crystallography, molecular modeling and site-directed mutagenesis, this problem could be addressed through the development of a human enzyme that is capable of catalyzing a reaction that is otherwise not carried out in the human body. This would then allow use of prodrugs that are otherwise stable in vivo but that are substrates for a tumor-targeted mutant human enzyme. We report here the first te...Continue Reading
