Introduction Antibodies are one of the key components of ADC drugs, serving as precise guiding components with the functions of targeting and toxin delivery. They can specifically recognize the target antigens on the surface of tumor cells, delivering toxins to the tumor cells and mediating the localization and endocytosis of ADCs in tumor cells[1]. After … Read more

Breast cancer, regarded as the “killer of beauty,” is a malignant tumor that severely threatens women’s health, with an increasing incidence year by year. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), as a new type of therapeutic drug, have become a hot research topic in the field of breast cancer due to their advantages of “high efficacy and low … Read more
Introduction Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are “biological bullets” formed by conjugating cytotoxic drugs (payloads) to antibodies via a “linker.” They consist of five components: target, antibody, linker, payload, and conjugation method. Each part is crucial to the function of ADCs, but today we will focus on the linker that connects the antibody and payload, examining the … Read more
Since the first use of cytotoxic chemicals to treat cancer, oncologists have been searching for ways to enhance efficacy without significantly increasing overall toxicity to patients. One of the methods attempted to improve the killing effect on tumor cells is the use of cytotoxic agents with potency at picomolar or lower levels (such as microtubule … Read more
History of ADC Drug Development Phase 1 (1906-1982), the concept of targeted therapy was proposed, and the technology took shape. Phase 2 (1983-2011), transition from clinical trials to commercialization, Mylotarg® was approved for market. Phase 3 (2012-present), explosive growth of ADC products. The five key elements of ADC drugs are target, antibody, linker, cytotoxic agent, … Read more
