Cancer targeting peptides for enhancing anti-cancer drug delivery and therapeutic efficiencies

摘要

A peptide targeted conjugate is disclosed. The conjugate comprises: (a) an isolated or a synthetic targeting peptide of less than 15 amino acid residues in length, comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 90% identity to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2 and 3; and (b) a component, to which the targeting peptide is conjugated, the component being selected from the group consisting of a drug delivery vehicle, an anti-cancer drug, a micelle, a nanoparticle, liposomes, a polymer, a lipid, an oligonucleotide, a peptide, a polypeptide, a protein, a cell, an imaging agent, and a labeling agent. The conjugate may further comprise an anti-cancer agent encapsulated within the drug delivery vehicle. Compositions and methods of treating cancer are also disclosed.
