研究開始時の研究の概要 |
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, and is responsible for about 10 million deaths per year. The research could innovate the cancer immunotherapy to achieve efficiently cancer therapy for life extension and reduce numbers and death number.

研究実績の概要 |
Inhibiting sialylation is thus a potential anticancer treatment strategy. However, targeting sialic acids is difficult because of the lack of selective delivery tools. I present a prodrug strategy for selectively releasing the global inhibitor of sialylation peracetylated 3Fax-Neu5Ac (PFN) in cancer cells using the reaction between phenyl azide and endogenous acrolein, which is overproduced in most cancer cells. The method significantly suppressed tumor growth in mice as effectively as PFN without causing kidney dysfunction, which is associated with PFN.
