The emergence of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) as a potential therapeutic avenue in cancer treatment has garnered significant attention. By combining the selective specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the cytotoxicity of drug molecules,Read More…
Introduction of the Camptothecin Derivative Payload Camptothecin was first isolated from camptothecin stems in 1966 by Wall et al., mainly in the form of topological isomerase (topoI). In order to inhibit theRead More…
The popularity of sulfhydryl groups in ADC preparation can be traced back to three factors: (a) thiols are the most nucleophilic amino acid side-chain functional group (much more nucleophilic than amines); (b)Read More…
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprise an antibody, a linker, and a cytotoxic active payload. Compared to traditional chemotherapy, ADCs that target tumors are expected to mitigate systemic toxic effects, provide a wider therapeuticRead More…
Intracellular proteins can be degraded, processed, and presented on the cell surface in complex with MHC molecules (HLA), which can be specifically recognized by TCR (Figure 1). Antibodies that recognize pMHC likeRead More…
Antigen Target Selection A major challenge in developing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for cancer lies in the identification and validation of sufficient antigen targets for the monoclonal antibody component. Several factors need toRead More…
Nucleic acid drugs are a frontier field in the development of biomedicine, and the targeted delivery system of nucleic acid drugs is both a difficult and important point. At present, small nucleicRead More…
Antibody-drug conjugates, often referred to as ADCs, are a type of dual-targeted therapeutic. They consist of three key components: an antibody, a payload, and a linker. The antibody determines the target disease,Read More…
The development trends of the next generation of ADC (antibody-drug conjugate) drugs can be observed to show improved specificity and cytotoxicity compared to earlier generations, driven by technological advancements. However, it’s importantRead More…
ADC (antibody-drug conjugate) has emerged as a promising class of anti-cancer drugs, with over a dozen ADC drugs currently approved for the treatment of various types of cancer patients. Traditional ADCs utilizeRead More…
