Résumé
The overexpression of HIF-1α in solid tumors due to hypoxia is closely related to drug resistance and consequent treatment failure. Herein, we constructed a hypoxia-activated prodrug named as YC-Dox. This prodrug could be activated under hypoxic conditions and undergo self-immolation to release doxorubicin (Dox) and YC-1 hemisuccinate (YCH-1), which could execute chemotherapy and result in HIF-1α downregulation, respectively. This prodrug is capable of specifically releasing Dox and YCH-1 in response to hypoxia, leading to a substantial synergistic potency and a remarkable cytotoxic selectivity (>8-fold) for hypoxic cancer cells over normoxic healthy cells.
