| Abstract | In principle, cell surface receptors that are overexpressed intumor tissue could serve as targets for anticancer drugs attached toreceptor ligands. The purpose of this paper is to identify thenecessary elements for a successful receptor-targeted drug. We used thegastrin/cholecystokinin type B receptor as a model delivery system,and we report on the synthesis, trafficking, and invitro and in vivo evaluation of heptagastrin,the C-terminal heptapeptide of gastrin, linked via an appropriatelinker to a potently cytotoxic ellipticine derivative,1-[3-[N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-methylamino]propyl]amino-9-methoxy-5,11-dimethyl-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole.These data, and previous work from our laboratory, show that thedrug-complexed ligand is sorted to lysosomes whereas the receptor isrecycled to the plasma membrane. The lysosomal processing of theligand/drug construct depends on the linker between the ligandsequence and the cytotoxic moiety. We show that heptagastrin linked toellipticine via a succinoyl-substituted pentapeptide, AlaLeuAlaLeuAla,is at least 103 more toxic to cholecystokinin type Breceptor-positive NIH/3T3 cells than to isogenic NIH/3T3 cellslacking the receptor. The conjugated drug eradicated allreceptor-positive tumor cells in vivo without producingany general toxicity. The data indicate that the density of the cellsurface receptor, the properties of the cytotoxic moiety, and thecorrect processing of the drug-conjugated ligand in lysosomes arecrucial to the effectiveness of a receptor-targeted drug. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
