  • Patent number: 11925655
    Abstract: Disclosed are prodrugs of anthracyclines (such as doxorubicin) and derivatives thereof that are selectively cleaved and activated by fibroblast activating protein (FAP). The prodrugs are useful for targeted delivery of “warhead” anthracycline or anthracycline derivative to FAP-expressing tissues, including cancer (e.g., solid tumors). Also provided are pharmaceutical compounds comprising the prodrugs, as well as methods of using the prodrugs to treat a disorder characterized by FAP upregulation, e.g., cancer undesirable fibrosis and undesirable inflammation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10245248
    Abstract: Disclosed are prodrugs of therapeutic or imaging agents, which prodrugs are selectively cleaved by fibroblast activating protein (FAP) to release the agents. Upon cleavage by FAP of the FAP substrate, the prodrug releases the agent in its active form or in a form that is readily metabolized to its active form. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the prodrugs, as well as methods of using the prodrugs to treat a disorder characterized by FAP upregulation are also disclosed.
