Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) is conjugated with TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) via a linker that is stable in extracellular fluid, while it is cleaved by cathepsin once the conjugate has entered a tumor cell, thus activating the antimitotic mechanism of MMAE. The TRAIL-MMAE conjugate is a conceptually viable therapeutic strategy with improved in vitro antitumor activity, cell circle arrest and specific accumulation in tumor to treat TRAIL-resistant tumors.
单甲基澳瑞他汀 E(MMAE)通过一个在细胞外液中稳定的连接子与 TNF 相关凋亡诱导配体(TRAIL)偶联,一旦偶联物进入肿瘤细胞,它就会被组织蛋白酶裂解,从而激活 MMAE 的抗有丝分裂机制。TRAIL-MMAE 偶联物是一种概念上可行的治疗策略,具有增强的体外抗肿瘤活性、细胞周期停滞和在肿瘤中的特异性积累,可用于治疗 TRAIL 耐药肿瘤。
