  • Publication number: 20110014196
    Abstract: The invention relates to compounds comprising a plurality of enzyme substrates suitably linked and further carrying one or more cargo entities. In particular such compounds have the structure (substrate)n-linker-(cargo)m wherein “substrate” is a substrate specific for an enzyme-type protein; n is 2 or more; “linker” is a linking unit consisting of 1 to 300 atoms; “cargo” is a drug, a label detectable by a fluorescence detector, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) or scintigraphy, or a functional group which can be transformed into a drug or a detectable label; and m is 1 or more. The invention further relates to a corresponding molecular shuttles having the structure (fusion protein)n-linker-(cargo)m wherein “fusion protein” is a proteinaceous binding entity fused to an enzyme-type protein for which specific substrates exist. The proteinaceous binding entity is designed to bind to a target structure in vitro or in vivo, for example a cellular receptor.
