Currently, many new treatment strategies are being used for the management of cancer. Among them, chemotherapy based on peptides has been of great interest due to the unique features of peptides. This review discusses the role of peptide and peptides analogues in the treatment of cancer, with special emphasis on their pharmacokinetic modulation and research progress. Low molecular weight, targeted drug delivery, enhanced permeability, etc., of the peptide-linked drug conjugates, lead to an increase in the effectiveness of cancer therapy. Various peptides have recently been developed as drugs and vaccines with an altered pharmacokinetic parameter which has subsequently been assessed in different phases of the clinical study. Peptides have made a great impact in the area of cancer therapy and diagnosis. Targeted chemotherapy and drug delivery techniques using peptides are emerging as excellent …
