PG - 91-97 LID - S0163-7258(19)30100-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2019.05.017 [doi] AB - Recently, the development of drug delivery systems (DDSs) for clinical application of anticancer drugs and gene therapy has rapidly progressed. In particular, DDS carriers used for chemotherapy and gene therapy are required to selectively deliver drugs and genes to cancer cells. Both the carrier and the molecule must in combination be highly selective in most cases. Possible candidate targeting molecules are the laminins, major basement membrane proteins that interact with various cells through their multiple constituent active peptide sequences. Laminin-derived peptides bind to various cellular receptors and have been used for DDSs as a targeting moiety. Here, we review the progress in laminin-derived peptide-conjugated DDSs. Drug and gene carriers as well as ultrasound diagnostic contrast agents utilizing laminin-derived peptides for selective targeting are useful components of DDSs and play important roles in cancer and in the neovasculature.
