Abstract: Ligand Drug Conjugates of hydrophobically-modified auristatin F compounds that exhibit cytotoxic activities towards targeted cells, including abnormal cells such as cancer cells, that are MDR+ while also exhibiting bystander activities towards nearby cells having lower expression of the moeity targeted by the Conjugate.

Abstract: The present invention provides Ligand-Drug Conjugates, Drug-Linkers, Linkers, and Ligand-Linker Conjugates comprising a self-stabilizing linker assembly component.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). In particular, the invention relates to ADCs which comprise an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof which binds to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and is conjugated to monomethylauristatin norephedrine or monomethylauristatin phenylalanine. The antibody-drug conjugate has a PC-3™ cell to C4-2 or LNCaP™ cell selectivity of at least 250. The invention also relates, in part, to compositions of and methods of using the ADCs. The methods provided include, for example, methods for treating a PSMA-mediated disease.
