Example 14

The docetaxel prodrug, synthesized as illustrated in FIG. 18A or B was administered to 2F2B cells in an alamar blue assay to measure metabolic activity. FIG. 22 shows a comparison between an αvβ3 targeted particle without docetaxel, an αvβ3 targeted particle with docetaxel, and an αvβ3 targeted particle with a docetaxel prodrug. As the assay progressed, the particle comprising the prodrug demonstrated a sustained suppression of cell metabolic activity, as compared to the targeted control without docetaxel.
