Product Description
(S)-Seco-Duocarmycin SA is a DNA alkylating agent that works as the toxin part of the antibody active molecular conjugate (ADC cytotoxin).
(S)-Seco-Duocarmycin SA (CAS 152785-82-5) is a highly potent DNA-alkylating agent and a promising ADC cytotoxin used as an ADC payload in antibody-drug conjugates. It is the S-enantiomer of Seco-Duocarmycin SA. This compound binds selectively to the minor groove of DNA, inducing sequence-specific alkylation and causing irreversible DNA damage. As an antitumor antibiotic, it has an IC50 of 10 pM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(S)-Seco-Duocarmycin SA targets DNA, specifically binding to the minor groove. The compound induces sequence-specific alkylation of DNA, leading to irreversible DNA damage. This DNA damage inhibits DNA replication and transcription, ultimately resulting in cell death. As a DNA alkylating agent, it is a potent antitumor antibiotic with an IC50 of 10 pM.
ln Vitro
In cell-free biochemical systems, (S)-Seco-Duocarmycin SA alkylates DNA, forming covalent bonds with DNA. The compound's DNA alkylation activity can be assessed using DNA binding assays, such as electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) or DNA melting temperature analysis. The compound's potent DNA alkylation activity contributes to its cytotoxic effects.
ln Vivo
In cell-based assays, (S)-Seco-Duocarmycin SA exhibits potent cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. As an antitumor antibiotic with an IC50 of 10 pM, it is one of the most potent cytotoxic agents known. The compound's effects are evaluated in cancer cell lines by measuring cell viability, DNA damage, and apoptosis. It is used as an ADC cytotoxin for antibody-drug conjugates.
Enzyme Assay
The cell-free assay for DNA alkylation involves incubating the compound with DNA and measuring the formation of DNA adducts. This can be assessed using mass spectrometry, radiolabeling, or HPLC analysis. The compound's DNA binding can be assessed using electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) or DNA melting temperature analysis. The compound's potent DNA alkylation activity is measured by determining the concentration required to induce DNA damage.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for (S)-Seco-Duocarmycin SA involve culturing cancer cell lines and treating them with the compound at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 10 nM. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. DNA damage is assessed by measuring γ-H2AX foci or by comet assay. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V staining or caspase activity assays. The compound's IC50 of 10 pM is determined from dose-response curves.
Animal Protocol
In animal models, (S)-Seco-Duocarmycin SA has been evaluated as an ADC payload in tumor-bearing mice. Typical studies involve administration of the ADC to mice via intravenous routes. Tumor volumes are measured, and tissues are collected for analysis of DNA damage, apoptosis, and ADC distribution. The compound's potent cytotoxic activity contributes to the efficacy of the ADC.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of (S)-Seco-Duocarmycin SA are typically evaluated as part of ADC development. As a small molecule DNA alkylating agent, it would be expected to have limited systemic exposure when administered as an ADC payload due to targeted delivery. The compound's stability and release kinetics from the ADC influence its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
(S)-Seco-Duocarmycin SA is an extremely potent DNA alkylating agent and is expected to have significant toxicity if administered systemically. The compound is typically used as an ADC payload, where the antibody delivers the cytotoxic agent specifically to tumor cells, reducing systemic toxicity. Standard toxicity studies in animal models are conducted as part of ADC development to determine the safety profile and maximum tolerated dose.

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
