Cleavable Linker
Mc-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-PAB-OH targets the enzymatic activity of Cathepsin B. Upon internalization of the ADC into target cells, the linker is specifically cleaved by Cathepsin B in the lysosomes. This triggers a spontaneous self-immolation of the PAB spacer, releasing the cytotoxic payload (drug) specifically within the target cell, thereby minimizing systemic toxicity. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
An ADC cytotoxin is connected to an antibody by use of an ADC linker to form an ADC.
The in vitro activity of Mc-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-PAB-OH is evaluated through its ability to be cleaved by Cathepsin B and release the conjugated payload. In ADC development, this linker is conjugated to a cytotoxic drug (e.g., monomethyl auristatin E or a maytansinoid) and an antibody. The resulting ADC is then tested in cell-based assays to confirm target-specific cytotoxicity. The efficiency of the linker is measured by its ability to selectively kill antigen-positive cancer cells while sparing antigen-negative cells. |
| ln Vivo |
The in vivo activity of Mc-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-PAB-OH is demonstrated through the efficacy of the ADCs it helps construct. ADCs utilizing this Cathepsin B-cleavable linker have shown potent anti-tumor activity in preclinical xenograft models. The linker ensures that the cytotoxic payload is released preferentially at the tumor site, leading to tumor regression and improved survival in animal models.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The enzymatic cleavage of Mc-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-PAB-OH is typically assessed in vitro using purified Cathepsin B enzyme. The linker is incubated with the enzyme, and the cleavage products are analyzed by HPLC or LC-MS to confirm the release of the payload. The kinetics of the cleavage reaction can also be studied to determine the efficiency of the linker.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for ADC linkers involve testing the complete ADC molecule (antibody + linker + drug) on target cells. Cells are treated with the ADC, and cell viability is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. The specificity of the linker is confirmed by demonstrating that the ADC is only active against cells expressing the target antigen, and that its activity can be blocked by competition with the free antibody.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies for ADC linkers are conducted in mouse xenograft models. Tumor-bearing mice are administered the ADC via intravenous injection. Tumor volumes are measured at regular intervals, and survival is monitored. The efficacy of the ADC is compared to controls, and the tolerability is assessed by monitoring body weight and clinical signs.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic properties of Mc-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-PAB-OH are characterized as part of the ADC. The ADC typically has a long half-life in circulation due to the antibody component. The linker is designed to be stable in plasma to prevent premature release of the payload, but readily cleaved in the acidic and protease-rich environment of the lysosome. The stability of the linker in plasma is assessed using LC-MS/MS to measure the release of the payload over time.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicology studies are performed on the final ADC construct. The linker itself is generally considered non-toxic; however, the toxicity of the ADC is dependent on the payload and the target antigen. Standard toxicology assessments include evaluating effects on body weight, clinical chemistry, and histopathology of major organs, particularly the liver and bone marrow, which are common sites of off-target toxicity.
|
| Additional Infomation |
Mc-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-PAB-OH is a cleavable ADC linker that may be utilized to prepare active antibody conjugated molecules (ADCs). The GGFG sequence is a well-characterized substrate for Cathepsin B, making this linker a valuable tool for the development of targeted cancer therapeutics. It is available with high purity (typically ≥98%) for research and development purposes.
