Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases: expression, roles in metastatic prostate cancer progression and opportunities for drug targeting

Figure 3. Structure of ICT2588 and MT-MMP targeting concept. Peptide conjugation renders the drug (azademethylcolchicine) pharmacologically inactive. Following initial MT-MMP recognition and cleavage, the remaining amino acids are metabolised to release the toxic drug selectively in the tumor microenvironment.
