| Research Abstract |
Transporters play pivotal roles in both uptake of nutrients and efflux of metabolites/xenobiotics in the body. Oligopeptide transporters (PEPT) function as an uptake mechanism for both dipeptides and tripeptides. PEPTs are known to be highly expressed in a certain types of cancer cells probably to maintain its extremely rapid growth by uptake of nutrients. We have previously succeeded in synthesis of both tumor-imaging substrate and anti-tumor peptides targeted to PEPTs. In the present study we aimed to establish antitumor drugs with triple targets of PEPTs and its associated proteins.
