    Abstract

    Real-timetracking of pro drug up take, delivery and activation in vivore presents a major challenge for prodrug development. Here in, we demonstrate the use of novel glycosylated theranostics of the cancer pharmacophore Amonafide in highly-selective, enzymatic triggered release. We show that the use of endogenous enzymes for activated release of the therapeutic component can be observed, in real time, and monitored using one and two-photon bioimag-ing, offering unique insight into the prodrug pharmaco kinetic profile. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the potent cytotoxicity of Amonafide is preserved using this targeted approach.
