Abstract
Targeted bifunctional molecules and methods for their use are provided. The subject targeted bifunctional molecules are conjugates of a drug moiety and a targeting moiety, where these two moieties are optionally joined by a linking group. The bifunctional molecules are further characterized in that they exhibit a modulated biodistribution upon administration to a host as compared to a free drug control. The subject targeted bifunctional molecules find use in a variety of therapeutic applications.
