Abstract:<div>Abstract<p>Antibody–drug conjugates (ADC) using DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor DXd/SN-38 have transformed cancer treatment, yet more effective ADCs are needed for overcoming resistance. We have designed an ADC class using a novel self-immolative T moiety for traceless conjugation and release of exatecan, a more potent topoisomerase I inhibitor with less sensitivity to multidrug resistance (MDR). Characterized by enhanced therapeutic indices, higher stability, and improved intratumoral pharmacod… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
