Prodrugs of dynemicin analogs were synthesized, and their activation by aldolase antibody (Ab) 38C2 was evaluated by DNA-cleaving activity, as well as tumor cell growth inhibition. Further, we provide evidence that the activated enediynes underwent covalent crosscoupling with the aldolase Ab, which appears to be a limiting factor of their tumor cell growth-inhibiting activity and should be of general interest in the field of enediyne chemotherapy. These findings might open new avenues for define ...[more]
