## Background: Receptors for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (lh-rh) found in prostate cancers might be used for targeting of chemotherapeutic agents. doxorubicin derivative 2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin (an-201) can be linked to carrier analog [d-lys6]lh-rh to form the targeted cytotoxic analog of
Since somatostatin (sst) receptors are expressed in a high percentage of human breast cancers, we studied the effects of a targeted cytotoxic somatostatin analog (AN-238) formed by linking the highly active doxorubicin (DOX) derivative 2-pyrrolino-DOX (AN-201) to octapeptide RC-121 (D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-
