Zusammenfassung
It has been shown that human breast cancers express receptors for LHRH and somatostatin. In our previous studies we demonstrated that the growth of human breast cancer cell lines xenografted into nude mice can be inhibited by targeted cytotoxic analogues of LHRH (AN–152 (AEZS–108) and AN–207) as well as by targeted cytotoxic analogue of somatostatin AN–238. Consequently we decided to test targeted cytotoxic analogue of somatostatin AN–162 (AEZS–124) consisting of Doxorubicin (DOX) conjugated to somatostatin octapeptide RC–121. Experimental design: The expression of mRNA for somatostatin receptors in MDA-MB–231 h…
