This ADC product is comprised of an anti-C. albicans Hsp90 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
- C. albicans Hsp90
- Overview
- C. albicans is commensal and a constituent of the normal gut flora comprising microorganisms that live in the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract. C. albicans lives in 80% of the human population without causing harmful effects, although overgrowth of the fungus results in candidiasis (candidosis).
ADC Antibody
- Overview
- Human Anti-C. albicans Hsp90 scFv-heavy-kappa antibody, Efungumab
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.
