NCIt definition : A peptide-drug conjugate containing the taxane paclitaxel covalently linked to the
proprietary 19 amino acid peptide angiopep-2, in a 3:1 ratio, with potential antineoplastic
activity. Upon administration, paclitaxel trevatide, via angiopep-2 moiety, binds
to LRP-1 (low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1), which is highly expressed
in blood brain barrier (BBB) and glioma cells. This binding allows the transcytosis
of the agent across the BBB and the delivery of the cytotoxic agent paclitaxel. Compared
to paclitaxel alone, GRN1005 is able to increase the concentration of paclitaxel in
the brain and is also able to specifically deliver paclitaxel to LRP-1-overexpressing
tumor cells, both in the brain and in the periphery.;
