Design and Synthesis of Polymer Prodrugs for Improving Water-Solubility, Pharmacokinetic Behavior and Antitumor Efficacy of TXA9.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTXA9, a novel cardiac glycoside, has a potent anti-proliferative effect against A549 human lung cancer cells, however, possesses a poor water-solubility and a rapid metabolic rate in vivo which limited the further development of TXA9. To overcome the shortcomings of TXA9, four polymer prodrugs of TXA9 were designed and synthesized.
methodsPoly (ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (mPEG) and α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) were applied to modify TXA9 via carbonate ester and glycine linkers respectively to obtain four polymer prodrugs. The water-solubility and stability of prodrugs were studied in vitro while their pharmacokinetic behaviors and antitumor activity were investigated in vivo.
resultsThe water-solubility of TXA9 was obviously increased and prodrugs with glycine linkers showed a better stability in rat plasma. Their pharmacokinetic investigation found that the t
conclusionThe above results suggested that TPGS-Gly-TXA9 possessed better antitumor efficiency than TXA9 and could be further investigated as an anti-cancer agent.
