Product Description
MCC is a non-cleavable (non-degradable) ADC linker that may be utilized to prepare ADCs, like MCC-DM1.
MCC (CAS#: 104676-09-7) is a non-cleavable ADC linker used in antibody-drug conjugates such as T-DM1. It contains a maleimide moiety for conjugation to antibody thiol groups. Molecular formula C12H16N2O3, MW 236.27. Non-cleavable nature provides plasma stability; release requires lysosomal degradation of the antibody component.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MCC itself has no pharmacological target. However, MCC-based ADCs target specific antigens, e.g., trastuzumab-MCC-DM1 targets HER2. Other examples include anti-CD22-MCC-DM1 for NHL and anti-CD79b-MCC-DM1. Targeting specificity is conferred by the antibody component, while MCC links the antibody to the cytotoxic payload.
ln Vitro
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are strong cytotoxic medications that can selectively target cancerous cells because they are chemically bound to antibodies. In vitro, anti-CD22-MCC-DM1 exhibits broad efficacy against various NHL cell lines [1].
MCC alone has no activity. MCC-based ADCs show potent in vitro cytotoxicity against antigen-positive cancer cells. Anti-CD22-MCC-DM1 is effective against NHL B-cell lines. T-DM1 shows EC50 of 0.028 microg/mL in SK-BR-3 and ~2 microg/mL in BT-474 cells. It induces caspase-3/7 activation and inhibits cell proliferation in HER2-positive lines.
ln Vivo
MCC-based ADCs demonstrate in vivo antitumor activity in xenograft models. Trastuzumab-MCC-DM1 shows superior activity over unconjugated trastuzumab. Anti-CD30-MCC-DM1 induces regression in Karpas 299, HH, and L428 models. Serum concentrations remain elevated; toxicity is negligible compared to free DM1 or reducible-linker ADCs. The non-cleavable linker contributes to reduced off-target toxicity.
Enzyme Assay
As a linker, MCC has no receptor binding assays. Conjugation efficiency is assessed by SEC, HIC, or LC-MS to determine DAR. Stability is evaluated by incubating ADC in plasma or buffer and monitoring free payload release via LC-MS/MS. The maleimide group reacts with thiols via Michael addition to form stable thioether bonds, which are characterized by standard bioconjugation methods.
Cell Assay
Cells (antigen-positive and -negative) are cultured with ADC for 72 hours. Viability is measured by MTT or ATP-luminescence. For T-DM1, LDH release and caspase-3/7 activation assays are used. IC50/EC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. Selectivity is confirmed by comparing activity between antigen-positive and negative cells. Additional assays include cell cycle analysis and tubulin polymerization inhibition.
Animal Protocol
Immunocompromised mice bearing subcutaneous xenografts are treated with ADC via IV injection at varying doses. Tumor volumes are measured over time. PK studies involve blood collection at multiple time points; ADC and catabolite concentrations are measured by LC-MS/MS or ELISA. Toxicity is assessed by body weight, clinical signs, and histopathology. Typical dose for T-DM1 in mice is 3 mg/kg.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
MCC-based ADCs exhibit antibody-like PK with long half-life and low clearance. T-DM1 shows elevated serum concentrations in rats. The non-cleavable MCC linker provides high plasma stability, limiting free DM1 release. Upon internalization, lysosomal degradation releases the active catabolite Lys-MCC-DM1, which is not metabolized by P450. The linker prevents premature drug release, contributing to favorable PK.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
MCC-based ADCs show favorable toxicity profiles. In rats, T-DM1 toxicity is negligible compared to free DM1 or reducible-linker ADCs. Non-cleavable linker reduces systemic toxicity. However, liver toxicity has been observed with some MCC-DM1 ADCs. The charged catabolite Lys-MCC-DM1 does not readily cross membranes, limiting bystander effects and off-target toxicity. Generally better tolerated than cleavable counterparts.

Additional Infomation
MCC is used in T-DM1 (Kadcyla®), the first FDA-approved ADC for solid tumors (HER2+ breast cancer). T-DM1 binds HER2, internalizes, and releases Lys-MCC-DM1 to inhibit microtubule polymerization, causing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Other MCC-based ADCs include anti-CD22-MCC-DM1 and anti-CD79b-MCC-DM1. Clinical development continues, with B003 (anti-HER2-MCC-DM1) in Phase 1 trials.
