  • Publication number: 20110195939
    Abstract: HIV-protease inhibitors, particularly saquinavir, showed strong anticancer activity but numerous side effects limited its application. In order to overcome its toxicity original compounds were modified by covalent attachment of NO. The efficacy of parental and NO-modified drug was compared in vitro and in vivo. Anticancer activities of NO-modified saquinavir (Saq-NO) was monitored in vitro using assay for cell viability, proliferation, necrotic, autophagic and apoptotic cell death, differentiation, expression of intracellular molecules such as cyclin D3, p53 and Akt. Antitumor properties and toxicity of the compound was estimated in vivo. Saq-NO abrogated the viability of large spectrum of human and rodent tumor cell lines with IC50 significantly lower than parental drug and expressed strong antimelanoma action in vivo. In contrast to saquinavir, there was no detectable toxicity against primary cells in vitro and in vivo.
