Unfortunately, simple and static targeting systems usually show selectivity lacks. Herein, double sequential encrypted targeting system is proposed as stimuliresponsive targeting analogue for selectivity enhancement. The system is able to recognize diseased bone tissue in first place, and once there, a hidden secondary targeting group is activated by the presence of an enzyme overproduced in the malignant tissue (cathepsin K), triggering the recognition of diseased cells. Transporting the cell targeting agent in a hidden conformation which contains a high selective tissular primary targeting, could avoid not only its binding to similar cell receptors but also the apparition of the binding-site barrier effect, which can enhance the penetration of the therapeutic agent within the affected zone. This strategy could be applied not only to conjugate drugs but also to drug loaded nanocarriers in order to improve the efficiency for bone cancer treatments. 0947-6539 10.1002/chem.201605947 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/17665 http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/ Double sequential encrypted targeting sequence: A new concept for bone cancer treatment
