The present invention relates to compositions and methods for use in targeted drug delivery. More particularly, the invention is directed to cell-surface receptor binding conjugates containing hydrophilic spacer linkers for use in treating disease states caused by pathogenic cell populations and to methods and pharmaceutical compositions that use and include such conjugates.

The present invention provides lyophilized formulations of active agents, particularly of TAT-NR2B9c. TAT-NR2B9c has shown promise for treating stroke, aneurysm, subarachnoid hemorrhage and other neurological or neurotraumatic conditions. Such formulations are stable at room temperature thus facilitating maintenance of supplies of such a formulation in ambulances for administration at the scene of illness or accident or in transit to a hospital.

D-peptidic compounds that specifically bind to VEGF are provided. Also provided are multivalent D-peptidic compounds that include two or more of the domains connected via linking components. The multivalent (e.g., bivalent, trivalent, tetravalent, etc.) compounds can include multiple distinct domains that specifically bind to different binding sites on a target protein to provide for high affinity binding to, and potent activity against, the VEGF target protein. D-peptidic GA and Z domains that find use in the multivalent compounds are also provided, which polypeptides have specificity-determining motifs (SDM) for specific binding to VEGF (e.g., VEGF-A). Since the target protein is homodimeric (e.g., VEGF-A), the D-peptidic compounds may be similarly dimeric, and include a dimer of multivalent (e.g., bivalent) D-peptidic compounds. Also provided are methods for treating a disease or condition associated with VEGF or angiogenesis in a subject such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or cancer.

Provided is a peptide for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases and a use thereof. According to a novel dimeric peptide according to the present invention, it is possible to not only exhibit an excellent therapeutic effect through anti-inflammatory action but also have a very small-sized peptide, thereby minimizing side effects due to the administration of external substances and will be expected to be used as an active substance that can replace existing therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases.
