Abstract:
Cell receptor, uPAR, is widely considered as a tumor marker. We prepared a novel tumor targeting drug carrier (ATF-HSA) by fusing human serum albumin (HSA) with a uPAR inhibitory peptide (amino-terminal fragment of urokinase, ATF) and successfully loaded a photosensitizer, mono-substituted-carboxy phthalocyanine zinc (CPZ), into ATF-HSA by a novel strategy to form a molecular complex (ATF-HSA:CPZ). ATF-HSA:CPZ was demonstrated to be an effective photosensitizer showing remarkable anti-tumor effect and, at the same time, faster liver clearance compared to other types of photosensitizers. Moreover, ATF-HSA:CPZ showed much higher (100 ) fluorescence compared to a control and was demonstrated to be able to track the location of xenografted tumor.
