  • Publication number: 20210198340
    Abstract: A peptide that binds specifically to neuropilin-1 (NRP1) without binding to neuropilin-2 (NRP2) is provided. A fusion protein, a fusion antibody, small-molecule drug, a nanoparticle, or a liposome, which comprises the peptide, and a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing cancer or angiogenesis-related diseases, and a composition for diagnosing cancer or angiogenesis-related diseases are provided.

  • Publication number: 20200385428
    Abstract: Presented herein are cyclic peptides that specifically bind to a cell surface molecule, thereby allowing cell/tissue-specific targeting. The cyclic peptides can be attached to an agent, for example, a polypeptide such as an antibody, e.g., a cell-penetrating antibody. Cyclic peptide-containing cell/tissue-specific cell-penetrating antibodies described herein are capable of targeted delivery in a cell type-specific or tissue-specific (i.e., cell/tissue-specific) manner. The cell/tissue-specific cell-penetrating antibodies described herein can be used as an effective anticancer agent for cancer that overexpresses a cell membrane protein that specifically binds to the fused cyclic peptides.
