Theoretical investigation of Glucuronide-Taxol conjugates as a useful delivery system for Taxol anti cancer agent

Abstract

The physicochemical properties of three new glucuronide paclitaxel prodrugs have been evaluated using Hartree fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Linked to the 2'-OH of the drug by a carbonate function, they include a self-immolative spacer bearing an arylnitro or arylamino group between the drug and the glucuronic acid residue. Our investigation include: geometrical parameters of glucuronide-paclitaxel conjugates, Gibbs free energy of solvation (Gsolvation), binding energy and Dipole Moment (DM) of prodrugs, beside some properties such as partition coefficient, polarizibility, hydration energy and etc. Our results indicate that the glucuronide-paclitaxel conjugates mentioned above can be used to improve anticancer activity and water-solubility of paclitaxel.
