Abstract
The present invention provides a compound that can be used for targeted drug delivery, imaging a patient, or diagnosing a subject for a clinical condition which is believed to be associated with overexpression and/or upregulation of CXCR4. In particular, the present invention provides a high affinity CXCR4 selective binding ligand peptide conjugate (PC) of the Formula: P-(L-A)n (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a method for using and producing the same. The high affinity CXCR4 selective binding ligand peptide conjugate (PC) of the invention is useful in diagnosing, treating or imaging a patient. In compound of Formula (I), n is an integer from 1 to the sum of (the total number of amino acid resides in P and the total number of side-chain functional group in the amino acid residue of P); each A is independently a diagnostic agent, a therapeutic agent, or an imaging agent; L is a linker or absent; and P is a high affinity CXCR4 selective binding peptidyl ligand. In particular, the invention provides to a targeted drug delivery or imaging a patient or diagnosing a patient for a disease of which overexpression and/or upregulation of CXCR4 is implicated, such as cancers, HIV infection, and immune disorders. Compositions and kits peptide conjugate of Formula I as well as methods for using and producing peptide conjugate of Formula I are disclosed herein.
