We describe the use of natural product combretastatin A4 (CA4) as a versatile new payload for the construction of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Cetuximab conjugates consisting of CA4 derivatives were site-specially prepared by disulfide re-bridging approach using cleavable and non-cleavable linkers. These ADCs retained antigen binding and internalization efficiency and exhibited high potencies against cancer cell lines in vitro. The conjugates also demonstrated significant antitumor activities in EGFR-positive xenograft models without observed toxicities. CA4 appears to be a viable payload option for ADCs research and development.
我们描述了使用天然产物 combretastatin A4(CA4)作为构建抗体药物偶联物(ADC)的新型有效载荷的用途。使用可裂解和不可裂解接头通过二硫键重新桥接方法,位点特异性制备了包含 CA4 衍生物的西妥昔单抗缀合物。这些 ADC 保留了抗原结合和内化效率,并在体外对癌细胞系表现出高效力。缀合物在没有观察到毒性的情况下,在 EGFR 阳性异种移植模型中也显示出显著的抗肿瘤活性。CA4 似乎是 ADC 研发的可行有效载荷选择。
