PDCdb: the biological activity and pharmaceutical information of peptide-drug conjugate (PDC)
(database[TitleAbstract]) AND (Nucleic acids research[Journal]) 2024-11-14
Summary:
Peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) have emerged as a promising class of targeted therapeutics with substantial pharmaceutical advantages and market potentials, which is a combination of a peptide (selective to the disease-relevant target), a linker (stable in circulation but cleavable at target site) and a cytotoxic/radioactive drug (efficacious/traceable for disease). Among existing PDCs, those based on radiopharmaceuticals (a.k.a. radioactive drugs) are valued due to their accurate imaging and...
