Journal ArticleDOI
Polymers containing enzymatically degradable bonds, 7. Design of oligopeptide side-chains in poly[N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide] copolymers to promote efficient degradation by lysosomal enzymes†
TL;DR: It has been shown that a polymer molecule may contain side-chains of a single type that are nevertheless differentially susceptible to lysosomal hydrolysis, and that the cleavage of all side- chains displays a broad pH optimum pH 5 to pH 7.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anticancer agents coupled to N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide copolymers. I. Evaluation of daunomycin and puromycin conjugates in vitro
Ruth Duncan,P. Kopecková-Rejmanová,Jiri Strohalm,I.C. Hume,H.C. Cable,Jan Pohl,John B. Lloyd,Jindřich Kopeček +7 more
TL;DR: The conjugates tested were all less effective than free daunomycin, but they showed differential toxicity against L1210 depending on the aminoacid sequence of their drug-polymer linkage, and inclusion of fucosylamine-terminating side-chains into the HPMA copolymer structure increased the affinity of conjugate for the L12 10 cell membrane and resulted in increased toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that desferrioxamine cannot enter cells by passive diffusion.
TL;DR: It is concluded that desferrioxamine cannot enter cells other than by pinocytosis and that, once internalized, it will remain in the lysosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular Uptake and Release of Two Contrasting Iron Chelators
H.C. Cable,John B. Lloyd +1 more
TL;DR: Metal chelators Desferrioxamine and CP94 (1,2‐diethyl‐3‐hydroxypyridin‐4‐one) and the conjecture that the differences observed arose from the different membrane‐penetration properties of the two compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of side-chains of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide copolymers by lysosomal thiol-proteinases
TL;DR: N-(2-Hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide copolymers bearing oligopeptide side-chains terminating in p-nitroaniline (NAp) were incubated with rat liver lysosomal enzymes in the presence of the thiol glutathione and degradation was partially or totally inhibited by leupeptin.
