A Glucose-Triptolide Conjugate Selectively Targets Cancer Cells under Hypoxia
1 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
A major hurdle in the treatment of cancer is chemoresistance induced under hypoxia that is characteristic of tumor microenvironment. Triptolide, a potent inhibitor of eukaryotic transcription, possesses potent antitumor activity. However, its clinical potential has been limited by toxicity and water solubility. To address those limitations of triptolide, we designed and synthesized glucose-triptolide conjugates...
