This invention provides a method for identifying potential therapeutic agents by contacting a target cell with a candidate therapeutic agent which is a selective substrate for an endogenous, intracellular enzyme in the cell which is enhanced in its expression as a result of selection by biologic or chemotherapy. This invention also provides methods and examples of molecules for selectively killing a pathological cell by contacting the cell with a prodrug that is a selective substrate for an endogenous, intracellular enzyme. The prodrug is subsequently converted to a cellular toxin. Futher provided by this invention is a method for treating a pathology characterized by pathological, hyperproliferative cells in a subject by administering to the subject a prodrug that is a selective substrate for an endogenous, overexpressed, intracellular enzyme, and converted by the enzyme to a cellular toxin in the hyperproliferative cell.

Cette invention concerne une méthode d'identification d'agents thérapeutiques potentiels consistant à mettre une cellule cible en contact avec un agent thérapeutique potentiel, lequel est un substrat sélectif pour une enzyme endogène, intracellulaire, dans la cellule dont l'expression est amplifiée suite à une sélection par thérapie biologique ou chimiothérapie. Cette invention concerne également des méthodes et des exemples de molécules permettant de tuer sélectivement une cellule pathologique, consistant à mettre la cellule en contact avec un promédicament, lequel est un substrat sélectif pour une enzyme endogène, intracellulaire. Le promédicament est ensuite transformé en une toxine cellulaire. L'invention concerne, en outre, une méthode de traitement d'une pathologie caractérisée par des cellules pathologiques hyperprolifératives chez un sujet, consistant à administrer au sujet un promédicament, lequel est un substrat sélectif pour une enzyme endogène, surexprimée, intracellulaire, et est transformé par l'enzyme en une toxine cellulaire dans la cellule hyperproliférative.
