How Vintafolide works

Vintafolide minimizes the off-target toxicity by delivering the vinca molecule directly and specifically to cancer cells that over-express the folate-receptor. Once delivered to the cancer cell surface, Vintafolide is internalized into the cancer cell via endocytosis, a natural cellular process. Once inside the cell, Endocyte’s proprietary linker technology releases the chemotherapy to eliminate the cancer cell.
