abstract = "Targeted drug delivery is an important strategy in the treatment of many diseases. However, cancer cells are very difficult to target, making this a substantial obstacle in chemotherapy treatment. Bombesin fragment (BBN(6–14)) has been found to target gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), which is overexpressed in many cancer cells. In this chapter, BBN peptide was used as a targeting moiety on the surface of polymeric-based nanoparticles to deliver its payload into prostate cancer PC-3 cell lines. Copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction was utilized to link the BBN peptide with an alkyne derivative of Pegylated lipid.",
