Product Description
MC-VA-PABC-MMAE is part of the antibody conjugated active molecule ADC. MC-VA-PABC-MMAE is conjugated by ADC linker (peptide MC-VA-PABC) and potent tubulin polymerization inhibitor MMAE .
MC-VA-PABC-MMAE (CAS 1818864-51-5) is a cleavable linker-payload conjugate used in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). It consists of the maleimidocaproyl (MC) linker, a valine-alanine (VA) dipeptide, the PABC self-immolative spacer, and the potent microtubule inhibitor MMAE.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MC-VA-PABC-MMAE targets intracellular cathepsin B. Upon ADC internalization into cancer cells, the VA dipeptide is cleaved by cathepsin B in lysosomes, releasing the active MMAE payload, which then targets and inhibits tubulin polymerization, leading to G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
ln Vitro
The ADC is made up of a preamp to which the ADC input connects the ADC cytotoxin [1].
In cell-free cathepsin B cleavage assays, the VA dipeptide is efficiently cleaved, releasing free MMAE. The released MMAE shows potent cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines (IC50 in low nM range) by inhibiting tubulin polymerization and disrupting the cellular microtubule network.
ln Vivo
In vivo efficacy is observed in mouse xenograft models when MC-VA-PABC-MMAE is conjugated to tumor-targeting antibodies. The ADC accumulates in tumors, internalizes, and releases MMAE, resulting in potent tumor growth inhibition at well-tolerated doses. Detailed PK/Tox follows the conjugated ADC.
Enzyme Assay
The cathepsin B cleavage assay is performed using recombinant human cathepsin B. The MC-VA-PABC-MMAE conjugate is incubated with cathepsin B in cleavage buffer (pH 5.5) at 37degC for 1-4 hours. The released MMAE is quantified by LC-MS/MS to evaluate linker stability and cleavage efficiency.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cytotoxicity, antigen-positive cancer cells are treated with an ADC containing this linker-payload. Cells are incubated for 96-120 hours. Cell viability is measured using CellTiter-Glo. Cathepsin B inhibition or competition with free MMAE can confirm the on-target mechanism of the released payload.
Animal Protocol
Animal protocols depend on the specific ADC. Typically, mice bearing xenografts of target antigen-positive tumors receive the ADC intravenously at 1-10 mg/kg, once weekly for 2-3 weeks. Tumor volume and body weight are monitored. Blood samples are collected for PK analysis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
TK of MC-VA-PABC-MMAE is typically studied as part of an ADC. After injection, the ADC shows biphasic elimination: a rapid distribution phase followed by a slow elimination phase (half-life of days in humans). The linker-payload is stable in circulation, with minimal premature release.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Standard ADC safety precautions apply. Toxicity is context-dependent. The free MMAE payload can cause peripheral neuropathy, neutropenia, and other off-target toxicities at high doses. In ADC form, toxicity is reduced but requires monitoring. Not for human therapeutic use.

*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.
