Prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA) provides an attractive target for the development of targeted chemotherapeutics for prostate cancer. We have designed and synthesized a bioconjugate 1 that comprises the cytotoxic drug doxorubicin and one of our previously described urea‐based PSMA inhibitors. While this bioconjugate retained high binding affinity for PSMA, it inhibited only 30 % of C4‐2 cell growth at a concentration of 5.0 μ M .
