ABSTRACT:
The invention is a branched synthetic peptide conjugate which can be designed to bind to a target cell surface receptor, to penetrate into target cells, and to deliver a diagnostic probe or cytotoxic functionality to a desired site of action. The invention provides a relatively small molecule of flexible design having a branched structure for systematically incorporating a desired number of cytotoxic functions, peptide-based localization signals or diagnostic probes. The invention addresses problems associated with protein-based therapeutic or diagnostic agents.
