Cellular determinants of sensitivity to the bifunctional alkylating agent 4-[N,N-bis(2-iodoethyl)amino]phenol (ZD2767D), the active drug produced by ZD2767 antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT), were studied. The prodrug 4-[N,N-bis(2-iodoethyl)amino]phenoxycarbonyl L-glutamic acid (ZD2767P)+activating enzyme carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2) displayed growth inhibitory activity (IC50 0.04-2.2 μM) in colorectal tumour and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, and was more potent than a monofunctional ZD2767D analogue (colorectal cell lines - IC50 18-38 μM), synthesised for the first time. ZD2767P + CPG2 rapidly formed DNA-DNA interstrand cross-links (maximal at 10 min), and semi-quantitative analyses indicate that levels were similar in 3 of 4 cell lines studied (25-75 rad equivalents) at equitoxic (10×IC50/LC50) concentrations. In matched HCT116 TP53 functional/non-functional cell lines, there was no significant difference in the sensitivity to ZD2767P+CPG2. Together, these results suggest that cellular sensitivity to ZD2767P+CPG2 is, in part, related to the levels of interstrand crosslinks, but that TP53 status does not markedly effect chemosensitivity. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
