Abstract excerpt
RGD peptide (Arg-Gly-Asp tripeptide) binds to integrin αVβ(3) and αVβ(5), which is selectively expressed in tumor neovasculature and on the surface of some tumor cells. Some studies showed that coupling the RGD peptides to anticancer drugs yielded compounds with increased efficiency against tumors and lowered toxicity to normal tissues. The melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7/interleukin-24 gene...
