This ADC product is comprised of an anti-MSLN monoclonal antibody conjugated via a MC-Vc-PAB linker to SN38. The SN-38 is targeted to certain cancers by immunerecognition and delivered into cancer cells via receptor mediated endocytosis. Within the cell, SN-38 binds to DNA, causes DNA damage.
ADC Target
- Alternative Names
- MSLN; mesothelin; CAK1; MPF; CAK1 antigen; megakaryocyte potentiating factor; soluble MPF mesothelin related protein; pre-pro-megakaryocyte-potentiating factor; SMRP;
- Target Entrez Gene ID
- 10232
- Overview
- This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate two protein products, megakaryocyte potentiating factor and mesothelin. Megakaryocyte potentiating factor functions as a cytokine that can stimulate colony formation of bone marrow megakaryocytes. Mesothelin is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell-surface protein that may function as a cell adhesion protein. This protein is overexpressed in epithelial mesotheliomas, ovarian cancers and in specific squamous cell carcinomas. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed.
ADC Antibody
- Overview
- Chimeric Anti-MSLN IgG1-kappa antibody, Amatuximab
ADC Linker
- Name
- MC-Vc-PAB (maleimidocaproyl-valine-citrulline-p-aminobenzoyloxycarbonyl)
- Description
- Peptide linkers, belonging to Enzymatically cleavable linkers, combine greater systemic stability with rapid enzymatic release of the drug in the target cell. The scission of peptidic bonds relies on lysosomal proteolytic enzymes, which have very low activities in blood due to endogenous inhibitors and the unfavorably high pH value of blood.
ADC payload drug
- Name
- SN-38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin)
- Description
- SN38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxy camptothecin) is an active metabolite of the cancer prodrug, irinotecan, with the ability of inhibiting Topoisomerase I, which is belong to the camptothecin family. SN-38 is formed via hydrolysis of irinotecan by carboxylesterases and metabolized via glucuronidation by UGT1A1.
