Outline of Final Research Achievements

Photodynamic diagnosis and therapy using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a widely accepted non-invasive strategy against various cancers. Our prior research demonstrated that the Schiff base derivative, TX-816, markedly enhances the effect of ALA-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) by facilitating intracellular protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) accumulation. However, the instability of TX-816 in aqueous solutions leads to rapid hydrolysis into 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde and 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (CNA). In this study, we found that a TX-816 derivative (YS3-35), substituting CNA was substituted with dasatinib, notably enhances the effect on ALA-PDT. Furthermore, we synthesized a novel derivative, YS6-107, replacing CNA of TX-816 with gefitinib. YS6-107 also exhibited superior ALA-PDT-enhancing activity compared to gefitinib. These results suggest that Schiff base derivatives combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors are effective lead compounds for developing novel ALA-PDT photosensitizers.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、PpIXの排出ポンプとして働くトランスポーターであるABCG2を阻害するチロシンキナーゼ阻害剤にDCSAを導入したシッフ塩基は多機能型の光線力学的治療の効果増強剤の開発の有用なリード化合物となることが確認され、これまで有効性が確認されていなかった癌腫に対しても5-アミノレブリン酸による光線力学的治療の応用が期待される。国内外でもALA-PDT効果増強に関する報告は限られており、新規シッフ塩基化合物を用いたALA-PDT効果増強剤の開発研究は意義ある研究成果と考える。
