Antitumor activity of antimicrobial peptides containing CisoDGRC in CD13 negative breast cancer cells.

BACKGROUND: isoAsp-Gly-Arg (isoDGR) is a derivative of the Asn-Gly-Arg (NGR) motif, which is used as a targeted delivery tool to aminopeptidase N (CD13) positive cells. Recent studies have shown that cyclic isoDGR (CisoDGRC) has a more efficient affinity with α(v)β(3), a type of integrin that overex...
