Product Description
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist-1 Ala-Ala-Mal (compound 88) is a glucocorticoid and a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. Glucocorticoid receptor agonist-1 Ala-Ala-Mal can be coupled with Adalimumab to prepare ADC.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist-1 Ala-Ala-Mal (CAS#: 2166376-51-6) is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist designed as a drug‑linker conjugate for antibody‑drug conjugate (ADC) applications. It consists of a glucocorticosteroid payload, an Ala‑Ala dipeptide spacer, and a maleimide (Mal) group for thiol‑specific conjugation to antibodies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
This compound is a potent agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. Upon binding to GR, the glucocorticoid payload translocates to the nucleus, where it modulates the transcription of anti‑inflammatory and immunosuppressive target genes. The Ala‑Ala‑Mal linker is designed for conjugation to antibodies, enabling targeted delivery to specific cell types (e.g., inflammatory immune cells).
ln Vitro
In vitro, the glucocorticoid receptor agonist-1 Ala‑Ala‑Mal moiety retains high potency at the GR (exact EC50 not published but inferred from similar glucocorticosteroids). Following conjugation to a targeting antibody (e.g., adalimumab, an anti‑TNFalpha antibody) via the maleimide group, the resulting ADC is expected to exhibit potent, target‑dependent suppression of pro‑inflammatory cytokine production (e.g., TNFalpha, IL‑6, IL‑1beta) in activated immune cells.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for this specific conjugate have not been published. Based on the known pharmacology of glucocorticoids and ADC technology, an ADC prepared with this compound conjugated to a targeting antibody (e.g., adalimumab) would be expected to deliver the glucocorticoid payload selectively to inflamed tissues or activated immune cells, reducing systemic glucocorticoid exposure and associated side effects (e.g., hyperglycemia, osteoporosis, immunosuppression).
Enzyme Assay
Non‑cell‑based binding is assessed by fluorescence polarization (FP) or time‑resolved FRET (TR‑FRET) using purified recombinant glucocorticoid receptor ligand‑binding domain (GR‑LBD). Increasing concentrations of the compound (0.001-100 microM) are incubated with GR‑LBD and a fluorescently labeled glucocorticoid tracer (e.g., FITC‑dexamethasone). The IC50 or EC50 for displacement/binding is calculated.
Cell Assay
For GR agonist activity, HEK‑293 cells stably transfected with a glucocorticoid response element (GRE)‑luciferase reporter are treated with serial dilutions of the compound (0.001-10 microM) for 24 h. Luciferase activity is measured, and EC50 values are calculated. For ADC activity, antigen‑positive cells (e.g., TNFalpha‑producing THP‑1 macrophages for an anti‑TNFalpha ADC) are treated with the complete ADC (0.001-100 nM) and cytokine production (TNFalpha, IL‑6) is measured by ELISA after LPS stimulation.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo evaluation of an ADC built with this payload‑linker, immunocompromised mice engrafted with antigen‑positive human cells (or a mouse model of inflammatory disease) would be used. The ADC is administered intravenously at 1-10 mg/kg once weekly for 2-4 weeks. Efficacy endpoints include suppression of pro‑inflammatory cytokines in plasma, reduction of immune cell infiltration into inflamed tissues (e.g., joint sections in arthritis models), and improvement in disease activity scores.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data specifically for this compound have not been published. When conjugated to an antibody, the ADC would exhibit antibody‑like PK: low clearance (0.2-0.5 mL/h/kg), long half‑life (5-10 days), and minimal release of free payload in circulation. The maleimide linkage ensures stable conjugation, while the Ala‑Ala spacer may be cleaved by lysosomal proteases after ADC internalization.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
As a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, the payload component of this conjugate carries the risk of systemic glucocorticoid side effects (e.g., hyperglycemia, osteoporosis, adrenal suppression) if prematurely released from the ADC. The conjugate is designed to minimize such effects through targeted delivery. No standalone toxicity studies for this specific compound have been published, and it is not an approved drug.

Additional Infomation
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist-1 Ala‑Ala‑Mal is a research‑grade chemical for the construction of steroid‑based ADCs. It has not been approved for therapeutic use and has not entered clinical trials. Its value lies in exploring the potential of targeted glucocorticoid therapy, which could reduce the systemic toxicities associated with long‑term glucocorticoid treatment in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Conjugation to adalimumab (anti‑TNFalpha) or other targeting antibodies is of particular interest.
