Abstract

The invention features a composition comprising a potent cytotoxic compound and a pH low insertion peptide, where, e.g., the cytotoxic compound cannot be used alone due to a lack of targeting. The pH low insertion peptide targets cytotoxic compounds to acidic diseased tissue, translocates cytotoxic compounds across plasma membranes into the cytosols of cells in acidic diseased tissues and induces cell death predominantly in the targeted acidic diseased tissue.
