(223) Polypeptide Based Conjugates for Precision Theranostics: Integrating Drug Delivery-Real Time Imaging

Introduction: Synthetic polypeptide-based nanomedicines are highly versatile, advanced therapeutic platforms, with many examples currently under clinical evaluation and some reaching market approval [1]. Imaging in drug delivery can support patient stratification and optimize treatment strategies, thereby accelerating the development and translation of personalized nanomedicines [2,3]. Organic compounds like porphyrins and phthalocyanines possess unique photophysical properties [3] making them valuable in applications ranging from diagnostic imaging [4] to therapeutic interventions.
