Liposomal prodrugs comprising derivatives of camptothecin and methods of treating cancer using these prodrugs
First Claim
1. A liposomal prodrug comprising an active component and a liposomal delivery system for delivering said active component, said delivery system comprising a liposome, a micelle and/or a lipid membrane receptacle, which restrains said active component, said active component comprising a compound of the formula:
-
wherein R1 is a C2-C4 alkyl group, a C6-C15 alkyl group, a C3-C8 cycloalkyl group, a C2-C15 alkenyl group or a C2-C15 epoxy group when R2 is H; and
R1 is a C1-C15 alkyl group, a C3-C8 cycloalkyl group, a C2-C15 alkenyl group or a C2-C15 epoxy group when R2 is NH2 or NO2.

Abstract
Derivatives of camptothecin as represented by the general formula:
are described, wherein when R1 is H, R. is a C2-C4 alkyl group, a C6-C15 alkyl group, a C3-C8 cycloalkyl group, a C2-C15 alkenyl group or a C2-C15 epoxy group; and when R2 is a nitro group or an amino group, R1 is a C1-C15 alkyl group, a C1-C15 alkenyl group, a C3-C8 cycloalkyl group, or an epoxy group. Liposomal prodrugs including these specific derivatives of camptothecin restrained by a liposomal delivery system are also described. Processes for making these prodrugs and for using them in cancer treatment are also disclosed.
