Aim: To verify whether photocontrol of biological activity could augment safety of a chemotherapeutic agent. Materials & methods: LD50 values for gramicidin S and photoisomeric forms of its photoswitchable diarylethene-containing analogs were determined using mice. The results were compared with data obtained from cell viability measurements taken for the same compounds. Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination (ADME) tests using a murine cancer model were conducted to get insight into the underlying reasons for the observed in vivo toxicity. Results: While in vitro cytotoxicity values of the photoisomers differed substantially, the differences in the observed LD50 values were less pronounced due to unfavorable pharmacokinetic parameters. Conclusion: Despite unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties as in the representative case studied here, there is an overall advantage to be gained in the safety profile of a chemotherapeutic agent via photocontrol. Nevertheless, optimization of the pharmacokinetic parameters of photoisomers is an important issue to be addressed during the development of photopharmacological drugs.

AbstractOur murine cancer model studies have demonstrated that Plasmodium infection activates the immune system that has been inhibited by cancer cells, counteracts tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, inhibits tumor angiogenesis, inhibits tumor growth and metastasis, and prolongs the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. Based on these studies, three clinical trials of Plasmodium immunotherapy for advanced cancers have been approved and are ongoing in China. After comparing the mechanisms of action of Plasmodium immunotherapy with those of immune checkpoint blockade therapy, we propose the notion that cancer is an ecological disease and that Plasmodium immunotherapy is a systemic ecological counterattack therapy for this ecological disease, with limited side effects and without danger to public health based on the use of artesunate and other measures. Recent reports of tolerance to treatment and limitations in majority of patients associated with the use of checkpoint blockers further support this notion. We advocate further studies on the mechanisms of action of Plasmodium infection against cancer and investigations on Plasmodium-based combination therapy in the coming future.
