This ADC product is comprised of an anti-Rabies Virus Glycoprotein monoclonal antibody conjugated via a SMCC linker to DM1. The DM1 is targeted to certain cancers by immunerecognition and delivered into cancer cells via receptor mediated endocytosis. Within the cell, DM1 binds to tubulins, interrupts microtubule dynamics, and subsequently, induces cell death.
ADC Target
- Name
- Rabies Virus Glycoprotein
- Alternative Names
- Rabies Virus Glycoprotein
- Overview
- This peptide is a 29 amino acid fragment derived from rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG). Because neurotropic viruses cross the blood-brain barrier to infect brain cells, the same strategy may be used to enter the central nervous system and deliver siRNA to the brain. This peptide specifically binds to the acetylcholine receptor expressed by neuronal cells.
ADC Antibody
- Overview
- Human Anti-Rabies Virus Glycoprotein IgG1-lambda antibody, Rafivirumab
ADC Linker
- Name
- SMCC (N-succinimidyl 4-(Nmaleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate)
- Description
- Disulfide Linkers, are extensively exploited as a chemically labile linkage. Since the release of disulfide-linked drugs requires a cytoplasmic thiol cofactor, such as glutathione (GSH). Disulfides maintain stable at physiological pH and only when ADCs are internalized inside cells, the cytosol provides reducing environment including intracellular enzyme protein disulfide isomerase, or similar enzymes, drugs can be released.
ADC payload drug
- Name
- DM1 (N2'-Deacetyl-N2'-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)maytansine)
- Description
- Derived from Maytansinoid,a group of cytotoxins structurally similar to rifamycin, geldanamycin, and ansatrienin. The eponymous natural cytotoxic agent maytansine is a 19-member lactam (ansa macrolide) structure originally isolated from the Ethiopian shrub Maytenus ovatus. Maytansinoids can bind to tubulin at or near the vinblastine-binding site, which interfere the formation of microtubules and depolymerize already formed microtubules, inducing mitotic arrest in the intoxicated cells.
