New Fluorescent Drug Complex for Opto-Chemical Therapy against Breast Cancer

Abstract

Tamoxifen is one of the drugs most frequently used in breast cancer therapy. It binds mainly to intracellular receptors (mainly estrogen receptor alpha, ERα) and it plays an antagonist role to β-estrogen ligands avoiding uncontrolled cellular proliferation and growth. In our laboratories we have developed a novel fluorescent tamoxifen derivative, FLTX1, formed by the covalent binding of tamoxifen to NBD moiety, which is a common biomarker for lipids and hydrophobic environments. The new complex not only keeps the pharmacologic activity of tamoxifen but also adds a luminescent functionality to the drug, see Fig. 1a. Strikingly, FLTX1 lacks most of the secondary effects described for tamoxifen [1].
