Introduction to Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC)

Introduction to Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC)

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are formed by linking monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with small molecule drugs through linkers. The specificity of mAbs for tumor cells allows small molecule drugs to act effectively within tumor tissues, significantly reducing the high toxic side effects of traditional small molecule drugs and enhancing overall therapeutic efficiency. Currently, there are 13 ADC … Read more

Analysis of Six Classic Point-Coupling Technologies for ADC

ADC drug conjugation refers to the method of linking various components of ADC, which determines the drug-antibody conjugation ratio (DAR) and homogeneity, affecting the drug’s activity, tolerance, and stability. It is generally divided into random coupling and site-specific coupling. Non-Site-Specific Coupling Common methods include coupling at Lys residues and Cys residues. Site-Specific Coupling, which includes … Read more

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) consist of linkers, payloads, and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). They combine the advantages of high specificity targeting and potent cytotoxic effects, achieving precise and efficient elimination of cancer cells, making them a hot topic in cancer drug development. Since the first ADC drug Mylotarg® was approved by the FDA in 2000, as of … Read more

Understanding Bispecific Antibody Drug Conjugates (BsADCs)

Understanding Bispecific Antibody Drug Conjugates (BsADCs)

Introduction Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) consist of antibodies, linkers, and cytotoxic payloads. Compared to traditional chemotherapy, ADCs target tumors with the promise of reducing systemic toxicity, providing a broader therapeutic window and a higher therapeutic index. Over the past decade, ADCs have gradually matured in the treatment of solid tumors and hematological malignancies, becoming a revolutionary … Read more

Understanding Different Types of ADCs

Understanding Different Types of ADCs

In today’s circuit design, the vast majority of scenarios involve mixed-signal circuit designs that integrate both digital and analog components, and the intermediate connection channels in mixed circuits inevitably rely on ADC and DAC. For example, the joystick inside our daily remote controls operates on the principle of a sliding potentiometer. Some higher-end designs use … Read more

What Exactly Is an ADC?

What Exactly Is an ADC?

Known as magic bullets, ADCs have been highly praised in recent years. The design concept of these drugs is clear: to utilize the high specificity of antigen-antibody binding to selectively deliver toxins to antigen-positive cells, thereby selectively killing target cells and reducing damage to normal cells. However, like other drugs, the actual performance of ADCs … Read more
