Abstract
A new controlled drug delivery system for selective chemotherapy was developed. It is based on a chemical adaptor unit, that releases a drug by a spontaneous cyclization mechanism after cleavage of an enzymatic substrate. It also provides a generic linkage of a drug with a targeting device in a manner set to be triggered by defined enzymatic activity. The system is generic and allows using a variety of drugs, targeting devices, and enzymes by introducing the corresponding substrate as a trigger for drug release in the chemical adaptor.
