Compounds described herein are mithramycin (MTM) oxide (OX) derivatives. These compounds are useful for treatment of cancers and neuro-diseases.

Provided are a compound including a cleavable linker, a use thereof, and an intermediate compound for preparing the same, and more particularly, the compound including a cleavable linker of the present invention may include an active agent (for example, a drug, a toxin, a ligand, a probe for detection, etc.) having a specific function or activity, a SO.sub.2 functional group which is capable of selectively releasing the active agent, and a functional group which triggers a chemical reaction, a physicochemical reaction and/or a biological reaction by external stimulation, and may further include a ligand (for example, oligopeptide, polypeptide, antibody, etc.) having binding specificity for a desired target receptor.

The present invention provides drug modifications for improving biodistribution and/or specificity of an anticancer drug. In certain embodiments, the compound of the invention comprises a drug, a linker and a core acid. The core acid can be varied to tune the properties of the compound within the body such that the compound more selectively distributes to tumors and is, or becomes active in the cytosol.

The solution provides a method for separating a Chinese traditional medicine composition. To explain a pharmacological effect mechanism of a medicine made of two or more components and scientific content in rules of compatibility among components of a compound medicine, systematic researches on the material basis is very necessary. Accordingly, deep researches are done on chemical components of the pharmaceutical composition in the solution, and eight compounds are separated, which are 10-O-(p-hydroxycinnamoyl)-adoxosidic acid, aloe-emodin-8-O--D-glucopyranoside, quercitrin, matairesinol-4-O-glucoside, liquiritin apioside, epi-vogeloside, vogeloside and ethyl caffeate, which provides a new quality control method for the composition in the solution.

The invention relates to microbubble complexes for use in methods of sonodynamic therapy which comprise a microbubble attached to or otherwise associated with one or more linking groups, each linking group being bound to at least one sonosensitising agent and at least one chemotherapeutic agent. It further relates to the microbubble complexes themselves and to pharmaceutical compositions which contain them. The invention is particularly suitable for the treatment of deep-sited tumors, in particular pancreatic cancer.
