Re-directing an alkylating agent to mitochondria alters drug target and cell death mechanism.

Re-directing an alkylating agent to mitochondria alters drug target and cell death mechanism.

We have successfully delivered a reactive alkylating agent, chlorambucil (Cbl), to the mitochondria of mammalian cells. Here, we characterize the mechanism of cell death for mitochondria-targeted chlorambucil (mt-Cbl) in vitro and assess its efficacy in a xenograft mouse model of leukemia. Using a ρ...
