Targeting tumors can be achieved by using a novel chemical adaptor system (see picture) comprising, for example, the anticancer drug epotoside, an N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer as the tumor-targeting device, and catalytic antibody 38C2 as the triggering enzyme in a single entity. When the enzyme cleaves the substrate, it triggers a spontaneous reaction that releases the active drug from the targeting moiety.
