♠ Antibody-drug conjugates or ADCs are a new class of
drugs designed as a targeted therapy for the treatment
of cancer.
♠ ADCs are complex molecules composed of
an antibody linked, via a stable linker with labile bonds,
to a cytotoxic (anticancer) drug.
What are ADCs ?????????????????

Mechanism of Action
Binding
ADC binds to
the target
antigen on the
surface of the
tumor cell to
produce an
ADC-antigen
complex
Internalization
Entire
antigen-ADC
complex is
internalized
through
receptor-
mediated
endocytosis
Degradation
ADC is
degraded
inside the a
lysosome to
release the
cytotoxic
drug.
Release
The cytotoxic
drug enters
the
cytoplasm,
where it binds
to its
molecular
target.
Cell Death
The
interaction of
the cytotoxic
drug with
DNA/
microtubules
leading to
apoptosis.

Target antigens
A successful ADC should target a well-internalized antigen
with low normal tissue expression and high expression on
tumors.
Antigen expression on normal tissues can be tolerated if
expression on vital organs is minimal or absent.
Target antigens for ADCs in preclinical & clinical development
Cancer Target Antigens
Breast CD174, GPNMB, CRIPTO & nectin-4 (ASG-22ME)
Ovarian MUC16 (CA125), TIM-1 (CDX-014) & mesothelin
Lung CD56, CD326, CRIPTO, FAP, mesothelin & GD2
Pancreatic CD74, CD227 (MUC-1) & nectin-4 (ASG-22ME)
Prostate PSMA, STEAP-1 & TENB2
![Page 12: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Antigen expression
In general, optimal ADC targets are homogeneously
and selectively expressed at high density on the surface
of tumor cells.
Homogenous tumor expression (although preferred) is
likely not an absolute requirement.
![Page 13: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Antigen internalization
Ideally, once an ADC binds to a tumor-associated target,
the ADC–antigen complex is internalized in a rapid and
efficient manner.
Factors influencing the rate of internalization, such as -
Epitope on the chosen target antigen bound by the ADC
Affinity of the ADC–antigen interaction
Intracellular trafficking pattern of the ADC complex
![Page 14: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Impact of format
The biological activity of an antibody can depend on
the interaction of its Fc portion with cells that express Fc
receptors (FcRs).
Therefore, selection of the appropriate antibody
format for an ADC is an important consideration.
![Page 15: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Cleavable linkers
• This strategy utilizes lysosomal proteases, that recognize and cleave a
dipeptide bond to release the free drug from the conjugate.
• Eg.: Valine - Citrulline linker
• This class of linkers takes advantage of the low pH in the lysosomal
compartment to trigger hydrolysis of an acid labile group within the
linker, & release the drug payload.
• Eg.: Hydrazone linker
Lysosomal protease sensitive linkers
Acid sensitive linkers
![Page 17: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• This strategy exploits the higher concentration of thiols, such
as glutathione, to release the free drug.
• Eg. Disulphide linker
Glutathione sensitive linkers
![Page 18: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Noncleavable linkers
• This approach depends on complete degradation of the
antibody after internalization of the ADC, resulting in release
of the free drug with the linker attached to an amino acid
residue from the mAb.
• Noncleavable linkers has greater stability in circulation
compared with cleavable linkers.
![Page 19: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Cytotoxic drugs
• The drugs being used to construct ADCs generally fall into
two categories:
1) Microtubule inhibitors
2) DNA-damaging agents
• The percent of an injected antibody that localizes to a solid
tumor is very small (0.003–0.08% injected dose per gram of
tumor); therefore, toxic compounds with sub-nanomolar
potency are desirable.

Chemical conjugation
• Traditionally, conjugation of linker-drugs to an antibody
takes place at solvent accessible reactive amino acids such as
lysines or cysteines derived from the reduction of interchain
disulfide bonds in the antibody.
Lysine conjugation
• Results in 0–8 conjugated molecules per antibody
• Conjugation occurs on both the heavy and light chain at ~20
different lysine residues (40 lysines per mAb).
• Greater than one million different ADC species can be
generated.
![Page 24: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cysteine conjugation
• Cysteine conjugation occurs after reduction of four inter-
chain disulfide bonds.
• Linker-drugs per antibody can range from 0–8, generating
more than one hundred different ADC species.
![Page 25: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Drawbacks of Chemical conjugation
• ADC species differ in
drug load & conjugation
site.
• Therefore, each species
may have differ in in-
vivo PK properties.
• Batch-to-batch
consistency in ADC
production is difficult to
obtain.
![Page 26: Antibody drug conjugates for cancer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a960351a28ab59308b475f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Site-specific conjugation
• It has three strategies
1
• Insertion of cysteine residues in the antibody
sequence by mutation or insertion
2• Insertion of an unnatural amino acid
3•Enzymatic conjugation

to the drug
• Requires screening of antigen of interest
• Premature release of cytotoxic drug
• Sufficient concentration may not be achieved at target site

ADCs are a new class of
drugs designed as
a targeted therapy for the
treatment of cancer.
ADCs are complex
molecules composed of
an antibody, linker and
drug.
Site-specific conjugation is
preferred over chemical
conjugation due to
decrease heterogeneity.
There are some unresolved
issues such as antibody
affinity, internalization rate
etc
