Product Description
MC-Val-Ala-OH is a cleavable (degradable) ADC (Antibody-drug conjugate) linker that may be utilized to prepare antibody-conjugated active molecules (ADC).
MC-Val-Ala-OH (CAS#: 1342211-31-7) is a cleavable ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). With the molecular formula C18H27N3O6 and a molecular weight of 381.42, this compound features a peptide sequence with valine (Val) and alanine (Ala) amino acids, terminated by a hydroxyl (OH) group. MC-Val-Ala-OH is used to attach a cytotoxic payload to an antibody via a cleavable linker, enabling targeted delivery of the payload to cancer cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MC-Val-Ala-OH does not have a direct pharmacological target, as it is a linker molecule used in the synthesis of ADCs. Its function is to connect an antibody to a cytotoxic payload in ADC constructs. The valine-alanine peptide sequence is designed to be cleaved by specific proteases, such as cathepsin B, which are overexpressed in tumor cells. This protease-sensitive cleavage enables the selective release of the cytotoxic payload inside target cells, minimizing off-target toxicity.
ln Vitro
ADC cytotoxins are connected to antibodies through an ADC connector to form ADCs [1].
MC-Val-Ala-OH does not possess intrinsic biological activity as it is a linker molecule rather than a pharmacologically active compound. Its in vitro utility lies in its use as a chemical building block for the synthesis of ADCs. The compound's peptide sequence allows for protease-sensitive cleavage, which is essential for the targeted release of the payload in cancer cells. In vitro studies typically involve testing the stability of the linker in plasma and its cleavage efficiency in the presence of cathepsin B.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity is not applicable to MC-Val-Ala-OH itself, as it is a linker molecule used in the synthesis of ADCs rather than a pharmacologically active compound. The in vivo activity would be associated with the final ADC molecules that incorporate this linker, not with the linker itself. MC-Val-Ala-OH is used exclusively as a chemical building block in research settings to construct ADC molecules that can deliver cytotoxic payloads to target cells.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding experiments are not applicable to MC-Val-Ala-OH, as it is a linker molecule rather than a biologically active compound. The compound is used as a chemical building block in bioconjugation reactions. Its characterization involves chemical analysis methods such as NMR spectroscopy, HPLC, and mass spectrometry to confirm its structure and purity. Researchers use these analytical techniques to verify the identity and quality of the compound before using it in the synthesis of ADCs.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular experiments are not performed with MC-Val-Ala-OH itself, as it is a linker molecule used in bioconjugation rather than a biologically active compound. The compound is used exclusively as a building block for the synthesis of ADCs. Researchers handling MC-Val-Ala-OH follow standard chemical synthesis protocols, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and working in a fume hood. The compound is stored under conditions that maintain its chemical stability.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are not applicable to MC-Val-Ala-OH itself, as it is a linker molecule used in the synthesis of ADCs rather than a pharmacologically active compound. The compound is not administered to animals, and its biological effects have not been studied in vivo. Any animal studies would be conducted with the final ADC molecules that are synthesized using this linker, not with the linker itself.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties are not applicable to MC-Val-Ala-OH itself, as it is a linker molecule used in bioconjugation rather than a pharmacologically active drug candidate. The compound is not intended for administration to animals or humans, and its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion have not been studied. MC-Val-Ala-OH is used exclusively as a building block for the synthesis of ADCs. Its physicochemical properties, such as molecular weight (381.42) and solubility (DMSO 100 mg/mL), are relevant to its handling in chemical reactions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for MC-Val-Ala-OH are limited, as the compound is a chemical linker rather than a drug candidate. Standard safety precautions for handling organic chemicals apply, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area. The compound is not intended for human consumption, and its toxicity profile has not been extensively characterized. Researchers handling MC-Val-Ala-OH should refer to the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for specific hazard information.
