Provided is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) using one or more cysteine or derivatives thereof as linkers to couple one or more drugs at the limited binding sites of an antibody, making it possible to produce an ADC product with high drug payload, or to choose a drug with less toxicity, thereby obtaining an ADC product with wide therapeutic window. In addition, since a plurality of drugs may be coupled to one binding site, the ADC products obtained by the method of the present disclosure have better uniformity in the case of same DAR value. Moreover, the amount of antibody required for production may be greatly reduced, thereby lowering the cost. Compared with the antibody-drug conjugates coupled only one drug, the antibody-drug conjugates produced by the method of the present disclosure have the same inhibition or killing effect on tumor cells while using fewer drugs for coupling to the same site.
本发明提供了一种
抗体-药物共轭物(ADC),使用一种或多种半胱
氨酸或其衍
生物作为连接体,在
抗体的有限结合位点上偶联一种或多种药物,从而可以生产出药物载量高的 ADC 产品,或选择毒性低的药物,从而获得治疗窗口宽的 ADC 产品。此外,由于一个结合位点可偶联多种药物,因此在
DAR 值相同的情况下,通过本公开的方法获得的 ADC 产品具有更好的一致性。此外,还可大大减少生产所需的
抗体量,从而降低成本。与只与一种药物偶联的
抗体-药物共轭物相比,本公开方法制备的
抗体-药物共轭物对肿瘤细胞具有相同的抑制或杀伤作用,而与同一位点偶联的药物用量更少。
