The present invention provides a curable composition containing a compound represented by General Formula A and a compound represented by General Formula B.

ArL-Sp-Pol).sub.n  (General Formula A)

In General Formula A, Ar represents an n-valent group containing a nitrogen-containing fused aromatic ring as a partial structure; L represents a linking group such as —O— and —C(═O)O—; Sp represents a single bond or a divalent linking group; Pol represents a hydrogen atom or a polymerizable group; n represents 1 or 2; and the compound represented by General Formula A has at least one polymerizable group.

##STR00001##

In General Formula B, R′, R″, and R′″ are each independently a hydrogen atom or a substituent; R′ and R″ or R″ and R′″ may be bonded to each other to form a ring that may have a substituent; and W is a hydrogen atom or a substituent. Using the curable composition of the present invention, it is possible to form a cured product having a small Abbe number, a large partial dispersion ratio, and high light stability.

The present disclosure generally provides compounds useful for treating cancer. In some aspects, the disclosure provides small-molecule cytotoxins that are chemically modified to include one or more moieties that include hydrophobic portions.

The present disclosure provides a ketone carbonyl-containing hydrophobic antitumor drug and a conjugate thereof as well as a nano preparation containing the conjugate, a preparation method therefor, and an application thereof. The conjugate is an amphipathic pH-responsive conjugate obtained by enabling a dehydration condensation reaction between a hydrazide-terminated polyethylene glycol and/or lactose hydrazide and the ketone carbonyl-introduced hydrophobic antitumor drug. The ketone carbonyl-introduced hydrophobic antitumor drug is obtained by reacting an isocyanate group in a compound containing isocyanate group and ketone carbonyl group with a hydroxyl on a hydroxyl-containing hydrophobic antitumor drug. The hydroxyl-containing hydrophobic antitumor drug includes at least one of paclitaxel, docetaxel, paclitaxel derivatives, or docetaxel derivatives. Compared with docetaxel, the ketone carbonyl-containing hydrophobic antitumor drug, the conjugate thereof and the nano preparation have higher antitumor activity.

The present disclosure relates to peptide compounds and conjugate compounds, processes, methods and uses thereof for treating cancer and increasing cellular internalization of said peptide compounds.
