Described herein are compounds comprising an oligopeptide and a non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent. The compounds self-assemble into supramolecular hydrogels and can be used as topical treatments for inflammatory conditions, such as osteoarthritis. Also described herein are oligopeptides compounds made from D-amino acid residues that form supramolecular hydrogels. The compounds may be functionalized with active agents, such as anticancer therapeutic agents, antiinflammatory agents, or imaging agents, therefore providing new mechanisms for delivery of active agents.
Prodrugs of cyclic anthracyclin toxins comprising a hypoxia-activated trigger and are disclosed. In addition, methods of treating cancer using the compounds of the invention are disclosed.

The present disclosure provides methods of using prodrugs of small-molecule cytotoxins for the treatment of cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a tumor comprising cells that overexpress fatty acid uptake proteins, such as cells that overexpress fatty acid translocase CD36. In some other aspects, the disclosure provides compositions suitable for use in such methods. In some further aspects, the disclosure provides combination therapies that may be suitable used in combination with the use of small-molecule prodrugs disclosed herein.

Disclosed are compounds for the selective labeling of cell-surface sugars in cancer cells. The compounds are activatable by triggers specific to cancer cells, and, when metabolized, label a cancer cell surface sugar with an azide chemical group. Facilitated by a click chemistry reaction, combination of the cell surface-expressed azide with a alkynyl-drug conjugate enables efficient targeted drug delivery to cancer cells with reduced toxicity. Also disclosed are compounds for delivering a drug to an azide-bearing cancer cell, and methods of treating cancer using the compounds of the invention.
