Paclitaxel trevatide is a paclitaxel-Angiopep-2 conjugate. Various Angiopep vectors have been composed and differ by their anti-cancer moieties. This has then been shown to be a prospective cancer therapy drug that can not only be conjugated to paclitaxel but also peptides, monoclonal antibodies, siRNA and many other biological materials. Paclitaxel trevatide has the potential to treat a variety of CNS diseases including glioma. Research has shown reduction in tumor growth in mice and rats with glioblastoma.
