  • Publication number: 20230120220
    Abstract: A process is for preparing a site-specific bioconjugated antibody of a formula (I): Ab-(Linker-Chelator)n (I). The Linker is an oligopeptide with an N-terminal end. The Chelator is a metal chelating agent. n is a Chelator-to antibody ratio (CAR), wherein 0<n?2. The process includes enzymatic deglycosylation of the antibody; coupling of the obtained deglycosylated antibody with a compound of a formula (A): Linker-Chelator (A) in the presence of a transglutaminase. The Linker is bound to the Ab at its N-terminal end, and comprising a sequence chosen among (*G-G-G), (*K-G-G) and (*A-K-A), where * denotes the N-terminal end of the Linker which is covalently bound to the Ab.

  • Patent number: 11541133
    Abstract: A cancer targeting composition, kit, and method for treatment of cancer cells overexpressing somatostatin receptors is disclosed. The composition includes a radioisotope, a chelator, and a targeting moiety. The chelator includes a nitrogen ring structure including a tetraazacyclododecane, a triazacyclononane, and/or a tetraazabicyclo [6.6.2] hexadecane derivative. The targeting moiety includes a somatostatin receptor targeting peptide. The somatostatin receptor targeting peptide includes an octreotide derivative. The targeting moiety is chelated to the radioisotope by the chelator whereby the cancer cells are targeted for elimination.
