A New Class of 5-Fluoro-2?-deoxyuridine Prodrugs Conjugated with a Tumor-Homing Cyclic Peptide CNGRC by Ester Linkers: Synthesis, Reactivity, and Tumor-Cell?Selective Cytotoxicity

Abstract
Tumor-targeting prodrugs of 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine (5-FdUrd), which are chemical conjugations of 5-FdUrd with a tumor-homing cyclic peptide CNGRC by succinate and glutarate linkers, were synthesized to investigate the structural effects of linkers on the hydrolytic release of 5-FdUrd and the tumor-cell–selective cytotoxicity.
