Product Description
DBCO-Val-Cit-PABC-PNP is a cleavable (degradable) ADC (Antibody-drug conjugate) linker that may be utilized to prepare active antibody conjugated molecules (ADC). DBCO-Val-Cit-PABC-PNP is a reagent for click chemistry. It has Alkyne groups and could undergo CuAAc (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction) with compounds bearing Azide groups.
DBCO-Val-Cit-PABC-PNP is a cleavable heterobifunctional linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). With a molecular formula of C46H49N7O10 and a molecular weight of 859.92, it contains a DBCO group for copper-free click chemistry, a valine-citrulline (Val-Cit) dipeptide substrate for cathepsin B cleavage, a para-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (PABC) self-immolative spacer, and a para-nitrophenyl (PNP) active ester for amine conjugation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The target of DBCO-Val-Cit-PABC-PNP is cathepsin B and the azide group in the SPAAC reaction. The Val-Cit dipeptide is specifically cleaved by lysosomal cathepsin B, which is overexpressed in many tumor cells. The PABC spacer undergoes self-immolation upon cleavage, releasing the free payload. The DBCO group enables copper-free click chemistry conjugation to azide-containing antibodies. The PNP ester reacts with amines.
ln Vitro
ADCs are made up of an antibody and an ADC cytotoxin that are joined together by an ADC linker[1].
In vitro activity of DBCO-Val-Cit-PABC-PNP is evaluated for its cleavage efficiency by recombinant cathepsin B. The linker is incubated with the enzyme in a cleavage buffer containing DTT, and the release of the payload is monitored by HPLC or LC-MS. The reaction kinetics and specificity are assessed to confirm that cleavage occurs selectively at the Val-Cit site.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of ADCs containing DBCO-Val-Cit-PABC-PNP is assessed in animal models. The linker's stability in circulation and selective cleavage within tumor cells are critical for achieving a favorable therapeutic index. In vivo studies typically involve administering the ADC to tumor-bearing mice and monitoring tumor growth inhibition, body weight, and survival.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cellular enzyme assays, DBCO-Val-Cit-PABC-PNP is incubated with cathepsin B in a buffer containing 5 mM DTT at 37°C. The reaction is quenched at various time points, and the extent of cleavage is analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC. The assay is used to determine the cleavage rate and to confirm that the linker is stable in the absence of the enzyme.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell experiments with DBCO-Val-Cit-PABC-PNP typically involve conjugating the linker to a payload and an antibody, then testing the resulting ADC in cancer cell lines. Cells are incubated with the ADC, and internalization is monitored. After internalization, the linker is cleaved by lysosomal cathepsin B, releasing the cytotoxic payload. Cell viability is measured.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with ADCs containing DBCO-Val-Cit-PABC-PNP typically use tumor-bearing mice. The ADC is administered intravenously, and tumor volume is measured regularly. The linker's ability to release the payload selectively in the tumor microenvironment is assessed by analyzing tumor tissue for free drug. Pharmacokinetic and toxicological parameters are evaluated.
