USES OF APOPTOTIC CELL-TARGETING PEPTIDES, LABEL SUBSTANCES AND LIPOSOMES CONTAINING A THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR PREVENTING, TREATING OR THERAPEUTICALLY DIAGNOSING APOPTOSIS-RELATED DISEASES

摘要

The invention relates to compositions for preventing, treating or therapeutically diagnosing apoptosis-related diseases which comprises: apoptotic cell-targeting peptides, label substances and liposomes containing a therapeutic agent as an active ingredient. The compositions of the present invention can be used for a variety of purposes such as delivery of target drugs to apoptotic cells in cancer or tumor tissue, apoptotic myocardial cells in myocardial infarction tissue, apoptotic nerve cells in cerebral apoplexy tissue and apoptotic cells in arteriosclerotic tissue, and further, detection and imaging diagnosis of these cells, therefore they can be used not only for preventing or treating said diseases but also for therapeutically diagnostic purposes.
