Ligand-drug-conjugates as substrates for selective cleavage by the exopeptidase activity of Cathepsin B

The present invention relates to ligand-drug-conjugates for the treatment of disease. In particular, the present invention relates to ligand-drug-conjugates comprising a linker system, which is selectively recognized and cleaved by the exopeptidase (i.e. carboxydipeptidase) activity of Cathepsin B,...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to ligand-drug-conjugates for the treatment of disease. In particular, the present invention relates to ligand-drug-conjugates comprising a linker system, which is selectively recognized and cleaved by the exopeptidase (i.e. carboxydipeptidase) activity of Cathepsin B, resulting in improved intracellular delivery of a drug to a target cell. The present invention also relates to ligand-drug- conjugates for the intracellular delivery of cytotoxic agents in tumor cells.
