Targeting ovarian solid tumors by Elastin-like polypeptide drug conjugates: Current trends and future prospectives

CONCLUSION: Elastin-like polypeptides (ELP), one of the thermoresponsive polymers, have been identified as drug carriers in anticancer therapy. ELP-drug conjugates have the potential and can be used effectively in combination with hyperthermia for targeting drugs to solid tumors. This review reports on the use of ELPs in cancer therapy, its biomedical applications, and recent developments to target medicines to solid ovarian tumors.PMID:34259143 | DOI:10.2174/1389203722666210713161618
