Abstract: Dye-peptide conjugates useful for diagnostic imaging and therapy are disclosed. The dye-peptide conjugates include several cyanine dyes with a variety of bis- and tetrakis(carboxylic acid) homologues. The small size of the compounds allows more favorable delivery to tumor cells as compared to larger molecular weight imaging agents. The various dyes are useful over the range of 350-1300 nm, the exact range being dependent upon the particular dye. Use of dimethylsulfoxide helps to maintain the fluorescence of the compounds. The molecules of the invention are useful for diagnostic imaging and therapy, in endoscopic applications for the detection of tumors and other abnormalities and for localized therapy, for photoacoustic tumor imaging, detection and therapy, and for sonofluorescence tumor imaging, detection and therapy.

Abstract: A large number of aziridinyl quinones represented by Series 1-9 were studied with respect to their DT-diaphorase substrate activity, DNA reductive alkylation, cytostatic/cytotoxic activity, and in vivo activity. As a result generalizations have been made with respect with respect to the following: DT-diaphorase substrate design, DT-diaphorase-cytotoxicity QSAR, and DNA reductive alkylating agent design. A saturating relationship exists between the substrate specificity for human recombinant DT-diaphorase and the cytotoxicity in the human H460 non-small-cell lung cancer cell line. The interpretation of this relationship is that reductive activation is no longer rate limiting for substrates with high DT-diaphorase substrate specificities. High DT-diaphorase substrate specificity is not desirable in the indole and cylopent[b]indole systems because of the result is the loss of cancer selectivity along with increased toxicity.
