Abstract
Solid phase synthesis allowed the rapid generation of a peptide-drug conjugate. A peptide targeting the Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (TFα) was conjugated to the alkylating subunit of the potent cytotoxin duocarmycin SA. The compound, containing a cathepsin B cleavable linker, was shown to be active and selective against TFα expressing tumour cell lines.
