The invention is a continuation of the patent CN102499986A ''a macromolecule-cisplatin compound and its preparation method and application'', the content and claim of which are both suitable for the invention. The invention relates to a water-soluble polyglutamic acid-cisplatin compound and provides a preparation method and an application of the compound. The invention belongs to the field of a bio-medical technology. According to the invention, gamma-polyglutamic acid prepared by biological fermentation is used as a raw material, and a small molecular modifier and an active group at the side chain of the gamma-polyglutamic acid react to prepare a gamma-polyglutamic acid derivative; and then, cisplatin reacts with a modified carrier to prepare a drug-loaded compound containing free cisplatin as well as combined cisplatin. Water solubility of the water-soluble polyglutamic acid-cisplatin compound is remarkably enhanced than water solubility of existing cisplatin compounds, and utilization rate of cisplatin is raised. The water-soluble polyglutamic acid-cisplatin compound has a more excellent anti-tumor effect than cisplatin, and toxicity in vivo of the water-soluble polyglutamic acid-cisplatin compound is obviously reduced.

A large number of aziridinyl quinones represented by Series 1-9 were studied with respect to their DT-diaphorase substrate activity, DNA reductive alkylation, cytostatic / cytotoxic activity, and in vivo activity. As a result generalizations have been made with respect with respect to the following: DT-diaphorase substrate design, DT-diaphorase-cytotoxicity QSAR, and DNA reductive alkylating agent design. A saturating relationship exists between the substrate specificity for human recombinant DT-diaphorase and the cytotoxicity in the human H460 non-small-cell lung cancer cell line. The interpretation of this relationship is that reductive activation is no longer rate limiting for substrates with high DT-diaphorase substrate specificities. High DT-diaphorase substrate specificity is not desirable in the indole and cylopent[b]indole systems because of the result is the loss of cancer selectivity along with increased toxicity. We conclude that aziridinyl quinones of this type should possess a substrate specificity (VMAX / KM )<10x10-4 s-1 for DT-diaphorase in order not to be too toxic or nonselective. While some DNA alkylation was required for cytostatic and cytotoxic activity by Series 1-9, too much alkylation results in loss of cancer selectivity as well as increased in vivo toxicity. Indeed, the most lethal compounds are the indole systems with a leaving group in the 3a-position (like the antitumor agent EO-9). We conclude that relatively poor DNA alkylating agents (according to our assay) show the lowest toxicity with the highest antitumor activity.
