Abstract
Biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of prostate‐cancer‐targeted HPMA copolymer/DTX conjugates are evaluated in nude mice bearing prostate cancer C4‐2 xenografts. PSMA‐specific monoclonal antibodies 3F/11 are used as the targeting moiety. Control conjugates contain either non‐specific IgG or no IgG. The ratios of tumor accumulation to total background organs (heart, lung, kidney, liver, spleen and blood) accumulation increase substantially with time for the targeted conjugate, and the ratio at 48 h is 7‐fold higher than that at 6 h. Preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of the conjugates in vivo show tumor growth inhibition for all HPMA copolymer/DTX conjugates.magnified image

The hypothesis that an elevated plasma insulin level contributes to an increase in coronary heart disease has led to studies of the mitogenic effect of native insulin and its conjugates on smooth muscle cells (SMC). In this study, insulin was covalently attached to two water-soluble polymers contain
