Abstract
Compositions and methods useful for delivery of targeted therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension, sepsis, cancer and cachexia. The compositions and methods are based on peptide pharmacophores that selectively bind to and home to diseased tissue and enable targeted therapies to affect a beneficial therapeutic result. Peptide pharmacophores may selectively target tumor vasculature, regenerating tissue, wounded tissue, inflamed tissue, fibrotic tissue, remodeled tissue, tissue characterized by elevated heparanase levels, and have the ability to internalize into such diseased cells.
