Abstract

Disclosed are compositions and methods related to clot-binding compounds. For example, disclosed are compositions comprising a surface molecule and at least one modified clot-binding compound. The modified clot-binding compound can selectively bind to clotted plasma protein, wherein the composition causes clotting and amplifies the accumulation of the composition in tumors. The modified clot-binding compound can enhance the clotting in tumors compared to its unmodified derivative. The disclosed targeting is useful for treatment of cancer and other diseases and disorders.
