The Development History of ADC Over 40 Years (Part 3)

The Development History of ADC Over 40 Years (Part 3)

The Metabolism Process of ADC The in vivo delivery process of the payload is complicated due to the complex structure of ADCs and their metabolic degradation in the body. After ADC administration, the Drug-to-Antibody Ratio (DAR), bound or free antibodies, albumin conjugates, free payloads, and payload metabolites are all in a highly dynamic state over … Read more

The Arrival of Quadruple Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

The Arrival of Quadruple Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

The development of next-generation ADC drugs has gradually shifted towards the development of new toxins and linkers as foundational technologies. Multi-antibody or multi-toxin approaches have become a new trend. Following Araris and Puzhong’s advancements in tri-toxin and hexatozin,Aarvik has now introduced quadruple antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Aarvik may not have a prominent reputation in the ADC … Read more

The Development History of ADC Over 40 Years (Part 2)

The Development History of ADC Over 40 Years (Part 2)

Key Components and Mechanisms of ADC Stability The instability of linkers in the bloodstream (also known as premature payload release) is a major factor limiting the therapeutic index of ADCs. Stabilization technologies are strategies to improve the therapeutic window. If the drug cannot be linked to the ADC, it cannot be delivered directly to tumor … Read more
