The present invention relates to cytostatics which have a tumor-specific action as a result of linkage to αvβ3 integrin antagonists via preferred linking units which can be selectively cleaved by enzymes such as metallo matrixproteases (MMPs), i.e. by enzymes which can especially be found in tumor tissue. The preferred linking units guarantee the serum stability of the conjugate of cytostatic and αvβ3 integrin antagonist and, at the same time, the desired intracellular action within tumour cells as a result of its specific enzymatic or hydrolytic cleavability with release of the cytostatic.
本发明涉及一种细胞抑制剂,它通过优选的连接单元与αvβ3整合素拮抗剂连接,从而具有肿瘤特异性作用,这种连接单元可被金属基蛋白酶(MMPs)等酶选择性地裂解,即被特别存在于肿瘤组织中的酶裂解。优选的连接单元保证了细胞抑制剂和 αvβ3 整合素拮抗剂共轭物在血清中的稳定性,同时,由于其特定的酶或水解裂解能力,可释放出细胞抑制剂,从而在肿瘤细胞内发挥理想的细胞内作用。
