Development of prodrug strategies for achieving increased penetration and selective activation in solid tumours. A primary cause of cancer deaths is relapse following treatment resulting from the drug failing to penetrate and destroy all parts of the tumour. The project aims to develop anticancer agents that are better able to reach all parts of the tumour and have toxicities low enough to enable sufficient doses to be used to kill all cancer cells.
