摘要：
The present invention relates to compounds which function as antibody mimetic compounds. These compounds are bifunctional/multifunctional compounds which contain at least one cancer cell binding moiety which selectively binds to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and a FC receptor binding moiety which modulates an FC immune receptor, preferably a FcγRI receptor. Compounds according to the present invention bind selectively to cancer cells which upregulate PSMA and through that interaction, place the Fc receptor binding moiety of the compound in proximity to a Fc receptor, preferably a FcγRI receptor, which can modulate (preferably, upregulate) a humoral response in a patient to cancer cells. Through this biological action of the compounds according to the present invention, cancer cells, including metastatic cancer cells, especially prostate cancer cells can be immune regulated, resulting in the favorable therapy of cancer in a patient. Methods of using these compounds to treat cancer and/or reduce the likelihood of metastatis of cancer are additional aspects of the present invention.
