Product Description
DGN549-L contains a cleavable ADC?linker and a DNA alkylating agent for antibody conjugation of lysine residues. DGN549-L can be used for the synthesis of antibody-active molecule conjugates (ADC).
DGN549-L (1a) is an indolinobenzodiazepine (IGN) DNA-alkylating payload bearing an N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester, designed for conjugation to lysine residues on antibodies. It is a potent cytotoxic agent that alkylates DNA after intracellular release. When conjugated to antibodies targeting tumor-associated antigens (e.g., FRα or CD123), the resulting ADCs demonstrate specific cytotoxicity against antigen-positive cancer cells. The catabolite released from DGN549-L-based ADCs is the monoimine indolinobenzodiazepine aniline species, which is cell-permeable and exhibits bystander activity. [1]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
DGN549-L (1a) itself does not have a specific biological target. As part of an antibody-drug conjugate, it targets the antigen recognized by the antibody (e.g., FRα or CD123). Its mechanism of action is DNA alkylation after intracellular release. The catabolite identified from DGN549-L-based ADCs is the monoimine indolinobenzodiazepine aniline species (4). [1]
ln Vitro
DGN549-L (1a) is not tested as a free drug; its activity is assessed as part of ADCs (e.g., ADC 2a and 3a). [1]
In FRα-positive cell lines (KB, T47D, NCI-H2110), the lysine-linked ADC 2a (DAR ~2.5) shows specific cytotoxicity with IC50 values (based on ADC concentration) of 5 × 10⁻¹² M (KB), 2 × 10⁻¹¹ M (T47D), and 4 × 10⁻¹¹ M (NCI-H2110). The corresponding IC50 values based on DGN549 payload concentration are 1 × 10⁻¹¹ M (KB), 6 × 10⁻¹¹ M (T47D), and 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ M (NCI-H2110). Cytotoxicity is blocked by excess unconjugated targeting antibody, confirming target specificity. [1]
In CD123-positive cell lines (EOL-1, HNT-34, MV4-11), the lysine-linked ADC 3a (DAR ~2.5) shows specific cytotoxicity with IC50 values (based on ADC concentration) of 2 × 10⁻¹² M (EOL-1), 8 × 10⁻¹³ M (HNT-34), and 5 × 10⁻¹³ M (MV4-11). The corresponding IC50 values based on DGN549 payload concentration are 6 × 10⁻¹² M (EOL-1), 2 × 10⁻¹² M (HNT-34), and 2 × 10⁻¹² M (MV4-11). [1]
Bystander activity: ADC 2a (lysine-linked) kills FRα-negative cells in mixed population assays at subnanomolar concentrations, consistent with release of a cell-permeable catabolite. [1]
ln Vivo
DGN549-L (1a)-based ADCs show efficacy in mouse xenograft models. [1]
In NCI-H2110 (FRα-positive NSCLC) xenografts, ADC 2a (3 μg DGN549/kg) is minimally active (T/C = 32%); at 9 μg DGN549/kg, it induces durable complete regressions (6/6 complete). Activity is similar to site-specific ADC 2b. [1]
In Molm-13 (CD123-positive AML) disseminated xenografts, ADC 3a at 0.3 μg DGN549/kg produces 59% increased life span; at 1 μg DGN549/kg, median survival exceeds 152 days (>443% ILS). The lysine-linked ADC 3a shows slightly lower activity compared to site-specific ADC 3b at the 0.3 μg DGN549/kg dose (59% vs 262% ILS). [1]
Cell Assay
Cell binding assay (flow cytometry) : Cells (0.5–1 × 10⁵) are incubated with serial dilutions of test antibodies for 1 hour at 4°C, washed, and incubated with FITC-conjugated goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody for 1 hour at 4°C. After washing, cells are fixed and analyzed by flow cytometry. EC50 values for ADCs are comparable to parent antibodies. [1]
Cytotoxicity assay (CellTiter-Glo) : Cells (1500–3000/well) are seeded in 96-well plates and incubated overnight. Serial dilutions of ADCs are added with or without blocking antibody (20 μg/mL). After 4 days at 37°C, CellTiter-Glo reagent is added, and luminescence is measured. IC50 values are calculated. [1]
Bystander activity assay : A mixed population of FRα-negative parental 300.19 cells and FRα-positive transfectants is treated with ADC. Cell viability is determined after 4 days using CellTiter-Glo. [1]
Catabolite identification assay (LC-MS) : KB cells are treated with saturating concentration of ADC for 24 h. Catabolites in media are concentrated by binding to an anti-IGN antibody, extracted into acetone, dried, redissolved, and analyzed by UPLC coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. [1]
Animal Protocol
Efficacy (NCI-H2110 xenograft) : Female CB-17 SCID mice (n=6/group) are inoculated subcutaneously with 1 × 10⁷ NCI-H2110 cells. When tumors reach ~100 mm³ (day 8), a single intravenous dose of ADC (3 or 9 μg DGN549/kg) is administered. Tumor size is measured twice weekly. [1]
Efficacy (Molm-13 disseminated xenograft) : Female thymic nude mice (n=10/group) are inoculated intravenously with 1 × 10⁷ Molm-13 cells. On day 7, a single intravenous dose of ADC (0.1, 0.3, or 1 μg DGN549/kg) is administered. To block Fc receptors, mice receive 400 mg/kg of a non-targeting IgG1 antibody intraperitoneally 24 h before ADC, followed by 100 mg/kg on days 4 and 9. [1]
Pharmacokinetics : Non-tumor-bearing CD-1 mice receive a single intravenous dose of ADC (2.5 mg antibody/kg). Plasma samples are collected at various time points (2 min to 28 days). ADC concentrations are measured by two ELISA methods: one for total antibody (anti-human IgG capture) and one for conjugated antibody (anti-IGN capture). [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
For lysine-linked ADC 2a (DGN549-L conjugated to mAb1) in CD-1 mice at 2.5 mg antibody/kg: total antibody Cmax = 40.3 μg/mL, AUC0-∞ = 6,550 h•μg/mL, clearance = 0.45 mL/h/kg, t½ = 4.8 days, Vss = 29.7 mL/kg. Conjugated antibody Cmax = 45.3 μg/mL, AUC0-∞ = 5,578 h•μg/mL, clearance = 0.45 mL/h/kg, t½ = 4.5 days, Vss = 29.7 mL/kg. Compared to site-specific ADC 2b, lysine-linked ADC 2a shows 1.6-fold lower exposure and 1.7-fold faster clearance. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No direct toxicity data (e.g., MTD) for DGN549-L (1a) as a free drug are reported. However, mouse tolerability studies of ADC 2a (lysine-linked DGN549 ADC) show that the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is approximately 50–60 μg DGN549/kg (approx 2.5–3 mg antibody/kg). This is approximately 2-fold lower than the MTD of the corresponding site-specific ADC 2b (100–125 μg DGN549/kg), indicating that the lysine-linked ADC is less well tolerated. [1]

Additional Infomation
Synthesis: DGN549-L (1a) is an NHS ester-bearing IGN payload used for lysine conjugation. [1]
Conjugation method (lysine) : DGN549-L is conjugated to antibodies via NHS ester chemistry targeting lysine residues, yielding heterogeneous ADCs with DAR between 2.5 and 3.0. [1]
Catabolite: The only major catabolite species identified from both lysine-linked and CYSAMB DGN549 ADCs is the monoimine indolinobenzodiazepine aniline species (4), confirming that the conjugation chemistry does not alter the mechanism of action. [1]
Hydrophobicity: By HIC analysis, lysine-linked DGN549 ADCs elute as a broad unresolved peak over approximately 45 min of the HIC gradient, reflecting heterogeneity in both DAR and conjugation sites. [1]
