Popis: We investigated the use of amphiphilic, protease-cleavable peptides as encapsulation moieties for hydrophobic metallodrugs, in order to enhance their bioavailability and consequent activity. Two hydrophobic, gold-containing anticancer agents varying in aromatic ligand distribution (Au(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene compounds
