Anti-GD2 (Dinutuximab)-MC-Vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA ADC
Anti-GD2 (Dinutuximab)-MC-Vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA ADC (ADC-W-2011)
This ADC product is comprised of an anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody conjugated via a MC-Vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2) linker to duocarmycin SA. The duocarmycin SA is targeted to certain cancers by immunerecognition and delivered into cancer cells via receptor mediated endocytosis. Within the cell, duocarmycin SA binds to DNA, causes DNA damage.

GD2
Alternative Names
GD2
Overview
GD2 is a disialoganglioside expressed on tumors of neuroectodermal origin, including human neuroblastoma and melanoma, with highly restricted expression on normal tissues, principally to the cerebellum and peripheral nerves in humans.
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
duocarmycin SA
Description
Duocarmycins SA belong to the minor-groove-binding DNA-alkylating agents (DNA MGBA). The natural duocarmycins are isolated from the culture broth of Streptmyces sp and a series of derivatives has also been synthesized.
