Antibody-Drug Conjugates: Recent Advances in Site-Specific Conjugation Offers Payload Diversity

Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) development has seen recent improvement through employment of targeted conjugate synthesis strategies. Methods that optimize delivery of antibodies, linkers, and conjugated drug compounds have emerged. Through these methods, higher drug conjugation density, increased linker stability, and lower unconjugated antibody concentrations can be achieved. Dual conjugation, a process by which two different conjugated drugs can be delivered, has become attractive for increased ADC potency. In this seminar, a discreet background will be presented to familiarize the audience with these advances. Expedited conjugation through intelligent cross-linker utilization will be presented. Finally, recent strategy of dual conjugation through Formylglycine-generating enzymes, as well as orthogonal Cysteine employment, will be covered.
