What is the primary function of the MP-PEG8-VA-PABC linker in ADC development?
The primary function of the MP-PEG8-VA-PABC linker is to provide a cleavable connection between the cytotoxic payload and the antibody. The valine-citrulline (VC) dipeptide is recognized and cleaved by lysosomal proteases, such as cathepsin B, after internalization of the ADC, thereby releasing the active drug in the target cell and minimizing systemic toxicity. The PEG8 spacer enhances solubility and reduces aggregation.

Dear team, how does the PABC component contribute to the release mechanism of MP-PEG8-VA-PABC?
The p-aminobenzylcarbamate (PABC) self-immolative spacer in MP-PEG8-VA-PABC is crucial for the efficient release of the drug. Upon enzymatic cleavage of the valine-citrulline dipeptide, the PABC group undergoes a spontaneous 1,6-elimination reaction. This process liberates the drug with a free hydroxyl or amine group, ensuring the payload is released in its unmodified, active form within the lysosome.

Could you kindly inform us what are the benefits of using a PEG8 spacer in the MP-PEG8-VA-PABC linker?
The PEG8 spacer in MP-PEG8-VA-PABC significantly improves the physicochemical properties of the ADC. The hydrophilic nature of PEG enhances the overall solubility of the conjugate, which can prevent aggregation. This improved solubility and reduced aggregation are critical for ensuring the stability and homogeneity of the final ADC product, which in turn impacts its efficacy and safety profile.

Dear BOC Sciences, is MP-PEG8-VA-PABC suitable for site-specific conjugation?
Yes, the maleimide group (MP) at the end of MP-PEG8-VA-PABC is designed for specific conjugation to cysteine residues. This allows for site-specific conjugation strategies, such as those involving engineered antibodies with reduced cysteines. Site-specific conjugation yields a more homogeneous drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), leading to a more consistent and predictable therapeutic profile compared to random conjugation methods.
