Abstract excerpt
The tumor vasculature is a suitable target for cancer treatment. RGD-4C (CDCRGDCFC) peptide can bind to human alphav integrins, which are known to be selectively expressed in human tumor blood vessels. Some studies showed that coupling anticancer drugs or peptides to the RGD peptides yielded compounds with increased efficacy against tumors and lowered toxicity to normal tissues in mice. TNF-alpha mutant...
