Abstract
Cell penetrating peptide TAT was introduced into doxorubicin structure. Synthesized doxorubicin-TAT conjugate showed different intracellular distribution pattern and cell killing activity from those of free doxorubicin. Unlike free doxorubicin, doxorubicin-TAT conjugate was highly permeable to drug-resistant cells and was able to kill drug-resistant tumor cells efficiently.
