Artificial Water Channel Promoting Depolymerization of Actin Filaments to Trigger Cancer Cell Apoptosis

Actin filaments play important physiological functions,which have become potential targets of antitumor drugs.Using chemicals to intervene their polymerization-depolymerization dynamics would generate new strategies for designing antitumor drugs.In this re-port,an artificial water channel appending acetazolamide moiety,a ligand that can selectively bind to carbonic anhydrase Ⅸ,has been prepared.We demonstrated that this conjugate can target colorectal cancer cells overexpressing carbonic anhydrase Ⅸ and trigger the depolymerization of actin filaments of the cancer cells by selectively mediating water transmembrane transport.Moreo-ver,the conjugate-promoted actin depolymerization led to tumor cell apoptosis and its high antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo against colorectal cancer.The method described herein represents a new and general strategy for designing antitumor drugs by us-ing artificial channel-mediated selective water transport to promote actin depolymerization.
