Chemical vectors targeting the EGFR. The core structural elements of the chemical vectors targeting the EGFR consists of branched polyethyleneimine tethered by polyethyleneglycol to an EGFR homing ligand EGF or a peptide GE11. The tetraconjugate possesses a melittin moiety that facilitates endosomal release. The triconjugate is composed of a linear and shorter polyethyleneimine molecule tethered to the EGFR homing ligand via a short polyethyleneglycol.
