In Vivo Characterization of Platinum(II)-Based Linker Technology for the Development of Antibody-Drug Conjugates: Taking Advantage of Dual Labeling with 195m Pt and 89 Zr
Abstract
Linker instability and impaired tumor targeting can affect the tolerability and efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). To improve these ADC characteristics, we recently described the use of a metal-organic linker, [ethylenediamineplatinum(II)]2+, herein called Lx Initial therapy studies in xenograft-bearing mice revealed that trastuzumab-Lx-auristatin F (AF) outperformed its maleimide benchmark trastuzumab-mal-AF and the Food and Drug Administration-approved ado-trastuzumab emtansine, both containing conventional linkers. In this study, we aimed to characterize Lx-based ADCs for in vivo stability and tumor targeting using 195mPt and 89Zr. Methods: The γ-emitter 195mPt was used to produce the radiolabeled Lx [195mPt]Lx89Zr-Desferrioxamine (89Zr-DFO) was conjugated to trastuzumab either via [195mPt]Lx (to histidine residues) or conventionally (to lysine residues) in order to monitor the biodistribution of antibody, payload, and linker separately. Linker stability was determined by evaluating the following ADCs for biodistribution in NCI-N87 xenograft-bearing nude mice 72 h after injection: trastuzumab-[195mPt]Lx-DFO-89Zr, trastuzumab-[195mPt]Lx-AF, and 89Zr-DFO-(Lys)trastuzumab (control), all having drug-to-antibody ratios ...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia
Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
Auditory Perception
Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.
Atrial Filbrillation
Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.
