Selective Cytotoxicity of Carboxypeptidase-activated Methotrexate ex-Peptides

Methotrexate ex-pep tides (derivatives in which an amino acid is linked covalently to the ex-carboxyl of the glutamate residue on the parent drug) can be hydrolyzed by specific carboxypeptidases to yield free Methotrexate (MTX) and the corresponding amino acid. Studies with L12l0 cells in suspension...
