Abstract

Multi-phase and single-phase chemical reaction schemes have been developed for the synthesis of pharmaceutical-ligand analogs, pharmaceutical-pharmaceutical analogs, and similar molecular-molecular analogs that possess multiple mechanisms of action. The multi-phase organic chemical reaction schemes include relatively mild reaction conditions, high end product yields, and comparatively rapid completion of chemical reactions, which are all of particular utility for the synthesis of preparations including covalent pharmaceutical-receptor ligand or pharmaceutical-immunoglobulin analogs. Examples of pharmaceutical-ligand preparations that can be synthesized utilizing the multi-step chemical reaction schemes include covalent chemotherapeutic-ligand agents that possess selective targeted delivery properties and a capacity to exert additive and synergistic levels of cytotoxic anti-neoplastic potency. Pharmaceutical-pharmaceutical analogs, including chemotherapeutic-chemotherapeutic analogs that are capable of exerting multiple mechanisms of action, can be synthesized using either of the described multi-phase or single-phase organic chemistry reaction schemes. Each of these representative examples has utility against a spectrum of disease states including, for example, neoplastic conditions such as mammary adenocarcinoma/carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, prostatic carcinoma, intestinal carcinoma, melanoma, leukemia, myeloma, and lymphoma.
