Maytansinoids
DM1-SMe is a potent maytansinoid microtubular inhibitor. It is an unconjugated form of the maytansinoid used in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The compound can be readily conjugated to the SH group of an antibody to form an ADC. DM1-SMe targets microtubules, disrupting cell division. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, DM1-SMe is a potent microtubular inhibitor that disrupts tubulin polymerization and causes cell cycle arrest. It exhibits potent cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines. Structure-activity-relationship studies have identified the C3 ester side chain as critical for activity. The compound is used as the cytotoxic payload in ADC development.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, DM1-SMe is used as the active cytotoxic component in antibody-drug conjugates. Following antibody-mediated delivery to tumor cells, the compound inhibits microtubule dynamics, leading to mitotic arrest and apoptosis. DM1-SMe has demonstrated antitumor efficacy in xenograft models when conjugated to tumor-targeting antibodies. It is the unconjugated form of the maytansinoid in IMGN901.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro receptor/enzyme binding assays for DM1-SMe typically involve studying its interaction with tubulin. The compound's ability to inhibit tubulin polymerization is measured using spectrophotometric assays that track microtubule assembly. Binding affinity for tubulin is determined using fluorescence-based or surface plasmon resonance methods. The compound's potency as a microtubule inhibitor is quantified by IC50 values for tubulin polymerization inhibition.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based cytotoxicity assays for DM1-SMe involve treating various cancer cell lines with increasing concentrations of the compound. Cell viability is assessed after 48-72 hours using MTT, CellTiter-Glo, or clonogenic assays. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. The mechanism of cell death (apoptosis vs. necrosis) is evaluated by caspase activation, Annexin V staining, and cell cycle analysis. The compound's potency is compared to other maytansinoids.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for DM1-SMe typically involve administering the compound as an ADC conjugate to mice bearing human tumor xenografts. The ADC is administered intravenously at various doses, and tumor growth inhibition is monitored over several weeks. Pharmacodynamic endpoints include tumor volume, weight, and histology. Survival is also assessed. The unconjugated DM1-SMe may be used as a control to demonstrate antibody-targeted delivery.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of DM1-SMe are characteristic of maytansinoid payloads. When administered as an unconjugated compound, it has a short half-life and rapid clearance. As part of an ADC, the compound is delivered specifically to tumor cells, with limited systemic exposure. The disulfide bond can be cleaved intracellularly to release the active DM1 species. Metabolism occurs primarily in the liver.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological profile of DM1-SMe is consistent with potent microtubule inhibitors. The compound can cause significant cytotoxicity, particularly to rapidly dividing cells. Common toxicities include myelosuppression, gastrointestinal effects, and neuropathy. When delivered as an ADC, toxicity is reduced due to targeted delivery. The compound should be handled with caution in laboratory settings.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.19 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
| Preparing Stock Solutions | 1 mg | 5 mg | 10 mg | |

| 10 mM | 0.1275 mL | 0.6374 mL | 1.2749 mL |
*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
