Abstract: Arat monoclonal antibody was linked to norcantharidin (NCTD), an antitumor drug currently in clinical use McAb 3A5. The 3A5-NCTD conjugate retained complete immunoreactivity of McAb 3A5 to human hepatoma cancer BEL-7402 cells. The IC50 values of 3A5-NCTD and free NCTD were 2.3 mg/Land 4.2 mg/L, respectively. The 3A5-NCTD showed higher cytotoxicity than free NCTD. Hepatoma H22 ascites was transplanted into the peritoneal of mice. 3A5-NCTD or NCTD were injected into the cavity. The ILS(%) values were 168% and 42%. Tumor fragments of human hepatoma BEL-7402 were transplanted into nude mice. Then 3A5 NCTD or NCTD was injected iv, or pt(peritumorally). The inhibition rates on the growth of hepatoma BEL-7402 xenografts were 62% and 15% for iv; 78% and 47% for pt.Results indicate that 3A5-NCTD is highly effective against targeted human cancer xenograft and mouse tumor.
