  • Publication number: 20230398233
    Abstract: An ocular antibody-drug conjugate compound is provided. The compound includes an antibody, the antibody being a classic antibody or a modified biologic molecule that blocks a first target in the subject; a small molecule drug including an alpha agonist or an anti-inflammatory small molecule selected from a steroid, a NSAID, that regulates a second or more target in the subject; and a linker linking the antibody and the small molecule drug. Methods of treating an ocular disease with the antibody drug conjugate compound are also provided. The linker is hydrolyzed in the subject over a certain time so that both the antibody and the steroid exert their functions simultaneously.
