development of targeted chemotherapeutics for prostate cancer. We have designed and
synthesized a bioconjugate 1 that comprises the cytotoxic drug doxorubicin and one of our
previously described urea-based PSMA inhibitors. While this bioconjugate retained high
binding affinity for PSMA, it inhibited only 30% of C4-2 cell growth at a concentration of 5.0
μM.
