Abstract
The effective delivery of cytotoxic agents to tumor cells is a key challenge in anticancer therapy. Multivalent integrinspecific ligands are considered a promising tool to increase the binding affinity, selectivity, and internalization efficiency of small‐molecule drug conjugates. Herein, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a multimeric conjugate containing the high‐affinity integrin αvβ3 binding ligand RAFT‐c(RGDfK)4, a lysosomally cleavable Val‐Cit linker, and cryptophycin‐55 glycinate, a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization. In vitro cytotoxicity assays verified that the multimeric RGD‐cryptophycin conjugate displays improved potency compared to the monomeric analogue in integrin αvβ3 overexpressing tumor cell lines, while significantly reduced activity was observed in the integrin‐negative cell line.
