<strong>Proceedings</strong> of the 31 st European Peptide SymposiumMichal Lebl, Morten Meldal, Knud J. Jensen, Thomas Hoeg-Jensen (Editors)European Peptide Society, 2010Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Daunorubicin-GnRH-IIIProdrugRózsa Hegedüs 1 , Erika Orbán 1 , Ildikó Szabó 1 , Marilena Manea 2,3 , andGábor Mező 11 Research Group of Peptide Chemistry, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Eötvös L.University, Budapest, Hungary, 2 Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry and BiopolymerStructure Analysis, Department of Chemistry, University of Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany;3 Zukunftskolleg, University of Konstanz, Konstanz, GermanyIntroductionTumor targeting with the decapeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) or itsanalogs is based on the discovery that GnRH receptors are highly expressed in many tumorcells (e.g., prostate, ovarian, breast, endometrial), <strong>com</strong>pared with their expression in normaltissues. Therefore, these peptides could be used as carriers/targeting moieties to whichtherapeutic agents are attached leading to the formation of conjugates with increasedselectivity and lower toxic side effects. The lamprey GnRH-III (
