TL;DR: Kratz et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a macromolecular prodrug strategy for improved cancer chemotherapy based on two features: rapid and selective binding of thiol-reactive prodrugs to the cysteine-34 position of endogenous albumin after intravenous administration and release of the albumin-bound drug in the acidic environment at the tumor site due to the incorporation of an acidsensitive bond between the drug and the carrier.
Abstract: We have recently proposed a macromolecular prodrug strategy for improved cancer chemotherapy based on two features (Kratz, F.; et al. J. Med. Chem 2000, 43, 1253−1256.): (a) rapid and selective binding of thiol-reactive prodrugs to the cysteine-34 position of endogenous albumin after intravenous administration and (b) release of the albumin-bound drug in the acidic environment at the tumor site due to the incorporation of an acid-sensitive bond between the drug and the carrier. To investigate this therapeutic strategy in greater depth, four (maleinimidoalkanoyl)hydrazone derivatives of doxorubicin were synthesized differing in the length of the aliphatic spacer (1, −(CH2)2−; 2, −(CH2)3−; 3, −(CH2)5−; 4, −(CH2)7−). The albumin-binding doxorubicin prodrugs, especially the (6-maleimidocaproyl)hydrazone derivative of doxorubicin (3), are rapidly and selectively bound to the cysteine-34 position of endogenous albumin. 3 was distinctly superior to the parent compound doxorubicin in three animal tumor models (R...

TL;DR: PGE2 stimulation of bone resorption increased linearly with the logarithm of the medium concentration over the range of 10(-9)M to 10(-5)M, then decreased at higher concentrations, but prostaglandins of the E series were 10- to 100- fold more potent than F, A or B prostaglandsins.
