The present invention relates to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) wherein a plurality of active agents are conjugated to an antibody through at least one branched linker. The branched linker may comprise a branching unit, and two active agents are coupled to the branching unit through a secondary linker and the branching unit is coupled to the antibody by a primary linker. The active agents may be the same or different. In certain such embodiments, two or more such branched linkers are conjugated to the antibody, e.g., 2-4 branched linkers, which may each be coupled to a different C-terminal cysteine of a heavy or light chain of the antibody. The branched linker may comprise one active agent coupled to the branching unit by a first branch and a second branch that comprises a polyethylene glycol moiety coupled to the branching unit. In certain such embodiments, two or more such branched linkers are conjugated to the antibody, e.g., 2-4 branched linkers, which may each be coupled to a different C-terminal cysteine of a heavy or light chain of the antibody.
本发明涉及
抗体-药物共轭物(ADC),其中多种活性剂通过至少一种支链连接体与
抗体共轭。支链连接体可包括一个支链单元,两种活性剂通过二级连接体与支链单元连接,支链单元通过一级连接体与
抗体连接。活性剂可以相同,也可以不同。在某些这样的实施方案中,两个或更多这样的支链连接体被连接到
抗体上,例如,2-4 个支链连接体,它们可以分别连接到
抗体重链或轻链的不同 C 端半胱
氨酸上。支链连接体可包括一个通过第一分支与支链单元偶联的活性剂和一个由聚
乙二醇分子组成的与支链单元偶联的第二分支。在某些这样的实施方案中,两个或更多这样的支链连接体被连接到
抗体上,例如,2-4 个支链连接体,它们可以分别连接到
抗体重链或轻链的不同 C 端半胱
氨酸上。
