Irinotecan will release active metabolite SN-38 by cleavage of ester with carboxylesterase which is abundantly present in normal tissue and in cancerous tissue. Therefore, Irinotecan is having lack of specificity and cause side effect. To enhance the specificity, we synthesized SN-38 dimer having disulfide linker between tertiary OH groups of SN-38 molecules. The enzyme carboxylesterase can’t hydrolyse the bond attached with tertiary OH group. It can only be hydrolysed by reductive glutathione (mainly in cancer cells) due to presence of disulfide bond. Aggregation of nanoparticles of SN-38 dimer is the limitation for applying to in vivo application. To improve the dispersion stability of nanoparticles, we substituted different hydrophobic groups on phenolic -OH group on SN-38 homodimer.

伊立替康通过羧酸酯酶分解酯释放活性代谢物SN-38，羧酸酯酶广泛存在于正常组织和肿瘤组织中。因此，伊立替康缺乏特异性和副作用。为了提高特异性，我们合成了SN-38分子的叔羟基之间带有二硫键的SN-38二聚体。羧酸酯酶不能降解与叔基结合的键。由于二硫键的存在，它只能被还原型谷胱甘肽(主要是在癌细胞中)水解。SN-38二聚体纳米粒的聚集限制了其在体内的应用。为了提高纳米粒子的分散稳定性，我们在SN-38均二聚体上用不同的疏水基团取代了酚羟基。
