Overview of ADC Drug Development Landscape

Overview of ADC Drug Development Landscape

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are also known as “biological missiles”. They connect cytotoxic drugs similar to chemotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, consisting of three parts: antibodies, linkers, and payloads (small molecule cytotoxic drugs). This combination achieves the dual advantages of small molecules and antibody drugs, enabling targeted killing of tumors and other diseases. In recent years, global … Read more

Physicochemical Analysis and Structural Characterization of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

Preface Preface Author Cloud Assistant Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a class of emerging drugs that combine the advantages of both antibodies and small molecule toxins. Compared to traditional cytotoxic drugs, ADCs have the advantages of strong targeting and fewer side effects, making them promising in the field of tumor therapy. To date, 11 ADC drugs … Read more

Understanding Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC)

Understanding Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC)

Introduction Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) typically consist of: highly specific and high-affinity antibodies, stable linkers, and potent small-molecule cytotoxic drugs1. The key to the development of ADCs lies in the selection of targets, antibodies, cytotoxic payloads, linkers, and the conjugation method. Among these, the conjugation method of ADCs directly determines the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), the distribution … Read more

Introduction to Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

Introduction to Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

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 toxicity and side effects of traditional small molecule drugs while improving overall therapeutic efficiency. Currently, there are 13 … 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
