Abstract

A novel strategy to attach indole-containing payloads to antibodies through a carbamate moiety and a self-immolating, disulfide-based linker is described. This new strategy was employed to connect a selective estrogen receptor down-regulator (SERD) to various antibodies in a site-selective manner. The resulting conjugates displayed potent, antigen-dependent down-regulation of estrogen receptor levels in MCF7-neo/HER2 and MCF7-hB7H4 cells. They also exhibited similar antigen-dependent modulation of the estrogen receptor in tumors when administered intravenously to mice bearing MCF7-neo/HER2 tumor xenografts. The indole-carbamate moiety present in the new linker was stable in whole blood from various species and also exhibited good in vivo stability properties in mice.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
