Tumor Delivery and In Vivo Processing of Disulfide-Linked and Thioether-Linked Antibody−Maytansinoid Conjugates

Abstract: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are designed to eradicate cancer cells that express the target antigen on their cell surface. A key component of an ADC is the linker that covalently connects the cytotoxic agent to the antibody. Several antibody-maytansinoid conjugates prepared with disulfide-based linkers such as those targeting the CanAg antigen have been shown to display more activity in preclinical mouse xenograft models than corresponding conjugates prepared with uncleavable thioether-based linkers. To inv… Show more

“…Furthermore, in several EGFR-expressing xenograft models and in an EpCAM-expressing xenograft model, the CX ADC was significantly more active in vivo than the SMCC ADC. The SMCC ADC requires lysosomal proteolysis of the antibody scaffold to release a polar catabolite, lysine-SMCC-DM1, which bears both a negative and a positive charge (11,14,28). In contrast, the lysosomal processing of the CX ADC requires cleavage at only one of the amide bonds in the triglycyl linker to generate maytansinoid catabolites bearing carboxylic acid group (DM-CX1, DM-CX2).…”

“…The noncleavable linker-bearing ADCs undergo proteolysis of their antibody component in lysosomes to release cytotoxic lysine-or cysteine-linked payload catabolites (11)(12)(13). Upon ultimate efflux out of target cells, these polar catabolite molecules, which bear both a positive and a negative charge, cannot easily enter and kill neighboring cells and therefore lack bystander-killing activity (11,14,15).…”

“…The ULTRA-TURRAX T8 dispersing instrument with an S8N dispersing tool was obtained from IKA Works Inc. Trastuzumab and the humanized antiglycoprotein D (gD) control antibody, 5B6, were prepared at Genentech. Antibody-[ 3 H]maytansinoid conjugates were prepared at ImmunoGen, Inc., as described previously (12). The ratio of linked …”

“…A stable tritium label was incorporated into the C-20 methoxy group of the DM1 used to prepare the 3 H-labeled conjugates as described previously (12). HER2-dependent processing of the 3 H-labeled conjugates was investigated in HER2-overexpressing BT-474EEI, MCF7-neo/HER2, and SK-BR-3.…”
