The specific, targeted delivery of drugs or radionuclides to diseased tissue is under intense investigation as an alternative to traditional cancer treatment. In this work, first steps towards a highly modular system for the delivery of bioactive substances were taken.
The coupling of two different functional entities, a radionuclide chelator and a tumor targeting peptide, by efficient and chemoselective reactions onto well-defined biocompatible poly(2-oxazoline)s has been realized for the first time. Preliminary in vivo and in vitro screening demonstrated that the presented conjugates are viable candidates for targeted delivery of radionuclides or drugs to diseased cells or tissues.
