Product Description
Val-cit-PAB-OH is a synthetic prodrug designed for targeted delivery of cytotoxic agents in cancer therapy. It consists of valine, citrulline, and p-aminobenzoic acid linked together, forming a molecule that can be selectively taken up by certain types of cancer cells. Upon entering these cells, Val-cit-PAB-OH undergoes metabolic activation to release the active cytotoxic component, which then targets and kills the cancer cells. This targeted approach aims to minimize damage to healthy tissues, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing side effects associated with conventional chemotherapy.
Application
In clinical settings, Val-cit-PAB-OH is being explored as part of novel strategies in cancer treatment, particularly for solid tumors that overexpress specific transporters. Its use in combination therapies could enhance the efficacy of existing treatments by delivering higher concentrations of cytotoxic agents directly to tumor sites. Research into Val-cit-PAB-OH is ongoing, focusing on optimizing its formulation and delivery mechanisms to maximize its therapeutic potential.
