Gold nanoparticles stabilize peptide-drug-conjugates for sustained targeted drug delivery to cancer cells

Abstract Background Peptide-drug-conjugates (PDCs) are being developed as an effective strategy to specifically deliver cytotoxic drugs to cancer cells. However one of the challenges to their successful application is the relatively low stability of peptides in the blood, liver and kidneys. Since Au...
