Abstract excerpt
Small peptide-based agents have attracted wide interest as cancer-targeting agents for diagnostic imaging and targeted therapy. There is a need to develop new high-affinity and high-specificity peptidomimetic or small-molecule ligands against cancer cell surface receptors. Here we report on the identification of a high-affinity peptidomimetic ligand (LLP2A; IC50 = 2 pM) against alpha4beta1 integrin using both...
