Abstract
In this study, we aimed to develop a thrombus-targeting delivery system of collagenase bound to a monoclonal antibody, and to investigate the thrombolysis of an immune-conjugate in vitro and in vivo as well as the targeting effect. We prepared the immunizing conjugation of collagenase by the 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDCI) method. In order to conjugate collagenase and a monoclonal antibody, bovine serum albumin was used as a linker, increasing the number of collagenase molecules carried and keeping collagenase and the monoclonal antibody active. In vitro thrombolysis experiments showed that collagenase had a strong dissolving effect on collagen-embolus within 24 hours. We established a rabbit pulmonary embolism model to investigate the thrombolysis effect of collagenase and collagenase immunizing conjugation in vivo. Our results revealed a significant difference between collagenase and collagenase immunizing conjugation (P < 0.05). We also established a rabbit ear edge vein model to investigate the active target of collagenase immunizing conjugation. We found that collagenase immunizing conjugation had active targets, and had a strong ability to dissolve organized thrombi. In conclusion, the thrombus-targeting delivery system of collagenase we developed has active targeting effects on thrombi.

Abstract
Intracellular disposition and cytotoxicity of macromolecular conjugate of mitomycin C (MMC) with transferrin (TF) were examined in the human hepatoma cell line HepG2 cell and normal cultured rat hepatocyte. The conjugate (TF-MMC) was specifically bound to the HepG2 cell as well as TF. The number of the binding site and the association constant of TF-MMC in the HepG2 cell were 396000+/-31000 molecules/cell and 3.24 x 10(7)+/-0.58 x 10(7) M(-1), respectively. No difference in the binding parameters of TF-MMC and TF can be detected in the HepG2 cell. The association constant for the TF receptor was almost identical between HepG2 cell and hepatocyte, however, the numbers of the binding site of TF-MMC and TF in the HepG2 cell were from 40-times to 50-times greater than those in the hepatocyte. Furthermore, TF-MMC was internalized into the HepG2 cell and the hepatocyte as well as TF. The rates of internalization of TF-MMC and TF into the HepG2 cell were nearly identical to those into the hepatocyte. However, the levels of the internalization into the HepG2 cell were remarkably higher than those into the hepatocyte because the number of receptors in the HepG2 cell was larger than that in the hepatocyte, and the rate of release from the HepG2 cell was slower than that from the hepatocyte. TF-MMC inhibited the growth of the HepG2 cells. The 50% growth inhibition (GI50) of TF-MMC against the HepG2 cell was 0.9 microg MMC/ml, which was a little higher than that of MMC (GI50=0.5 microg/ml). These results indicated that the TF-MMC might be useful for delivery of MMC to the HepG2 cell.

Abstract
Novel anti-tumor agent, duocarmycin derivative DU-257, was designed and synthesized to prepare immunoconjugate in order to confirm the feasibility of enzymatically cleavable linker consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and dipeptide, L-alanyl-L-valine. Oxyethylamine arm was introduced at 4-methoxy position of segment B of DU-86 to form DU-257 and evaluated its property. DU-257 retained similar stability and potency with DU-86 while enhanced hydrophilicity suggested. DU-257 was condensed to the PEG-dipeptidyl linker through carboxyl terminal of dipeptide, and enzymatic release of DU-257 using a model enzyme, thermolysin, similar enzyme of which was shown to be overexpressed at various tumor sites, was evaluated by HPLC analysis. Cleavage between the linker amino acids by the model protease and release of DU-257 as valine conjugated form was confirmed. The enzymatically released form of DU-257 expressed its cytotoxicity without loss of the potency for HeLaS3 and SW1116 tumor cell lines, although the efficacy was different in individual cells. DU-257 was then conjugated through the linker to KM231 monoclonal antibody specifically reactive to GD3 antigen which was shown to be expressed on the surface of many malignant tumors such as SW1116. The conjugate retained its binding specificity for SW1116 cell with a similar activity with KM231. Furthermore, the conjugate showed significant growth inhibition on SW1116 cell at a concentration of 75 microg/mL while no effect on antigen negative cell, HeLaS3. These results suggest that the conjugate retained its anti-tumor effect only when it bound on and was activated at the target cell, simultaneously. DU-257 will be one of the candidate of anti-tumor agent for application to immunoconjugate and its conjugate with KM231 via PEG-dipeptidyl linker will be a useful entity for cancer therapy related to sLe(a) expression.

Abstract
Through a linker containing thiocarbomate bound to the 7-N position of mitomycin C (MMC), conjugates with a monoclonal antibody to CD10 (NL-1) were prepared, and their antitumor activities were examined. All five conjugates, except one, showed in vitro cytotoxicity to two CD10+ lymphoid cell lines superior to MMC. The conjugate displaying the highest cytotoxicity was selected and further tested against three CD10+ and two CD10- lymphoid cell lines in vitro. The conjugate with NL-1 antibody demonstrated higher cytotoxic activity against CD10+ tumor cells than the control conjugate with normal immunoglobulin, while there was no significant difference, when tested against CD10- tumors. The cytotoxic activity of the NL-1 conjugate to CD10+ tumors was significantly blocked by NL-1 antibody. In vivo antitumor activity of the NL-1 conjugate was then tested against a CD10+ tumor transplanted to nude mice, and side effects were recorded. The NL-1 conjugate (4 mg/kg) showed an in vivo antitumor effect similar to MMC (2 mg/kg), which is at nearly maximal tolerable dose; the latter induced decreases in numbers of leukocytes and platelets, while the former did not, suggesting less side effect by the NL-1 conjugate. Since MMC demonstrates a broad spectrum of antitumor activity, the conjugate, as such, may be applicable for the treatment of cancer patients.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody-drug conjugates were applied as a clinical trial for patients who, based on the experimental study, had colorectal cancer. Monoclonal antibody A7, from a mouse splenocyte immunized against human colon cancer, was used as a drug carrier for colon cancer. The anti-cancer drugs mitomycin C (MMC) and neocarzinostatin (NCS) were bound covalently to A7 to form the conjugates A7-MMC and A7-NCS. The in vitro cytotoxic effects of the conjugates on SW1116 cells were stronger than those on free MMC or NCS. The conjugate A7-NCS, when administered to nude mice, brought about the highest NCS tumor concentration, whereas normal immunoglobulin G (IgG)-NCS distributed evenly in all tissues. The conjugates showed a strong antitumor effect on colon cancer transplanted into nude mice. Forty-one patients with colorectal cancer, including ten patients with postoperative metastasis, were given A7-NCS. The immunoperoxidase and drug concentration studies of the resected specimens showed that NCS was localized specifically in cancer. Patients receiving the conjugate did not experience serious adverse effects. Of the eight patients with postoperative liver metastasis, three showed evidence of tumor reduction on computed tomography (CT) scan and three claimed pain relief. The conjugate did not benefit patients with multiple lung metastasis or peritoneal metastasis.

Abstract
The effects of the monoclonal antibody-mitomycin C conjugate against human colon cancers were studied, in vitro and in vivo. Mitomycin C (MMC) was conjugated with the human colon cancer-specific monoclonal antibody, using a cyanogen bromide method. The effect of the conjugate and free MMC, in vitro, was measured by incubation with human colon cancer SW1116 cells. The MMC concentration of the conjugate and of free MMC needed for 50 per cent killing of target cells was 0.11 microgram/ml and 7.00 micrograms/ml, respectively. The effect of the conjugate and of free MMC, in vivo, was assayed by the growth inhibition of human colon cancer xenografted in nude mice, after intraperitoneal injections of 30 micrograms MMC/kg. Antitumor effects of the conjugate against the cancer in nude mice were significantly more potent than that of free MMC.
