    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230310640
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pyrrolobenzodiazepine derivative compound, a conjugate of the same with a ligand, and the use of the same. The pyrrolobenzodiazepine derivative compound is more stable in plasma, is stable even in circulation, and exhibits excellent efficacy. In particular, the conjugate of the pyrrolobenzodiazepine derivative compound with a ligand has a great advantage in that it is possible to target and specifically treat proliferative disease such as cancer, maximize drug efficacy, and minimize the expression of side effects since the conjugate more stably reaches the target cell and effectively exerts drug efficacy while toxicity is greatly reduced as a linker technology that allows drugs to be easily released within cancer cells and maximize drug efficacy is incorporated.
