We have synthesized a conjugate of cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexenoic acid (DHA) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT), DHA-HCPT. The antitumor activity of DHA-HCPT was evaluated in vitro against L1210 leukemia cells and in experimental animal tumor models including L1210 leukemia, Lewis lung carcinoma, and colon
CPT-11 (irinotecan, 7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino]carbonyloxycamptothecin) is an anticancer prodrug that has been approved for the treatment of colon cancer. It is a member of the camptothecin class of drugs and activation to the active metabolite SN-38, is mediated by carboxylesterases (CE). SN-38

As as initial step in the design of structure-specific RNA-interactive molecules as potential antiviral agents, we have focused on the synthesis of molecules that exhibit strong and preferential binding to duplex RNA. A series of polycationic ligands have been synthesized

A variety of novel heterocyclic compounds having thienoazepine, pyrroloazepine, furoazepine, and thienodiazepine skeletons were synthesized, most of which exhibited potent antagonism of [(3)H]-AVP specific binding in assays using rat liver (V1), rat kidney (V2), human platelet plasma membranes, and recombinant
