Peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) have emerged as a promising class of targeted
therapeutics. Structurally similar to ADCs, PDCs differ in their homing device,
offering unique advantages. A typical PDC is consists of three essential
components: a homing peptide, a linker and a cytotoxic payload (Fig 1). The
homing peptide includes targeting peptides and cell-penetrating peptides to
guide the drug to its intended site. This structure design enables enhanced cell
penetration, Reduced immunogenicity and
cost-effective synthesis[1]. |

While only a few PDCs, such as 177Lu-DOTATATE and 177Lu-PSMA-617, have gained approval, most
remain in clinical development. Key challenges such as drug stability, efficacy,
and administration methods require further optimization to expand therapeutic
application, particularly in cancer treatment. |
