Abstract

Novel neolymphostin-based antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) precursors were synthesized either through amide couplings between both cleavable and non-cleavable linkers and neolymphostin derivatives, or through Cu(I)-catalyzed acetylene-azide click cycloadditon between non-cleavable linkers and neolymphostin acetal derivatives. These precursors were site-specifically conjugated to cysteine mutant trastuzumab-A114C to provide neolymphostin-based ADCs. Preliminary in vitro data indicated that the corresponding ADCs were active against HER2-expressing tumor cell lines, thus providing a proof-of-concept for using neolymphostin as ADC-based anticancer agents.
