Capabilities & Facilities
MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA is a powerful drug-linker conjugate designed for use in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), combining the potent antitumor activity of Duocarmycin SA with a specialized linker system. The linker, consisting of MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2), plays a crucial role in ensuring that the cytotoxic agent is released selectively at the target site, minimizing systemic toxicity. This precision targeting is essential for enhancing the therapeutic index of the drug and optimizing the efficacy of cancer treatments. By utilizing ADCs, MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA offers a more effective and less toxic alternative to traditional chemotherapy.
The linker structure in MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA, particularly the PEG2 (polyethylene glycol) component, provides enhanced solubility and stability, enabling the conjugate to remain intact during circulation in the bloodstream. PEGylation improves the pharmacokinetics of the conjugate, prolonging its half-life and reducing renal clearance. This ensures that the conjugate can remain in the bloodstream longer and reach the target tumor cells effectively. The cleavable nature of the MC-vc-PAB-DMEA linker also ensures that the Duocarmycin SA is only released once the ADC reaches its target, thereby reducing off-target effects and improving the therapeutic outcome.
The use of Duocarmycin SA as the cytotoxic payload is another critical aspect of the MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA conjugate. Duocarmycin is known for its potent antitumor activity, specifically its ability to form covalent bonds with DNA, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Its high cytotoxicity is harnessed through the ADC platform, allowing for localized and controlled delivery to cancer cells, which are overexpressed with the specific antibody. This selectivity significantly enhances the precision of treatment, allowing for higher doses of the cytotoxic agent to be delivered directly to the tumor without affecting healthy cells.
MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA is particularly promising in the treatment of cancers that are difficult to target with traditional chemotherapies. Its ADC design allows for the delivery of Duocarmycin SA to tumors that express specific antigens, offering a personalized therapeutic approach. Additionally, its ability to target resistant cancer cells that have developed resistance to other treatments further underscores its potential in overcoming the limitations of conventional chemotherapy. This makes it an important tool in the development of next-generation cancer therapies.

What is MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA?
MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA is a duocarmycin-based cytotoxic agent designed for ADC applications, featuring a maleimide coupling site (MC), a valine-citrulline cleavable linker, a PAB self-immolative spacer, and a PEG2-DMEA solubilizer for improved pharmacological properties.

We are interested in how maleimide conjugation works with MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA.
The maleimide group reacts with thiol groups on cysteine residues of antibodies, forming stable thioether bonds. This allows precise conjugation, maintaining payload stability during circulation until enzymatic cleavage occurs inside target cells.

Could you explain the role of the PEG2-DMEA segment in MC-vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA?
PEG2-DMEA improves water solubility and reduces hydrophobic interactions, enhancing ADC formulation stability and reducing aggregation, which facilitates higher drug-to-antibody ratios and better in vivo tolerability.

Good afternoon! Could you kindly explain how the payload is released inside target cells?
The valine-citrulline linker is cleaved by lysosomal proteases, triggering self-immolation of the PAB spacer and releasing the duocarmycin payload, which binds DNA and induces cytotoxicity specifically in the target cells.
