MedKoo CAT#: 555776

CAS#: 159857-80-4 (MC-Val-Cit-PAB)

Description: Mc-Val-Cit-PAB is a peptide linker molecule used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). It contains a maleimidocaproyl (Mc) group that can be conjugated to an antibody and a p-aminobenzyl (PAB) spacer that allows the peptide to be linked to active compounds, such as anticancer agents. Mc-Val-Cit-PAB is cleaved in vivo by cathepsin B, a protease highly expressed in cancer cells, which confers specificity of the ADC to cancer cells.

Product Data:
Biological target: MC-Val-Cit-PAB is a cathepsin cleavable ADC linker that is used for making antibody-drug conjugate.
In vitro activity: A self-immolative p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (PABC) spacer between the dipeptides and the DOX was required for rapid and quantitative generation of free drug. DOX release from model substrate Z-Phe-Lys-PABC-DOX 49 was 30-fold faster than from Z-Val-Cit-PABC-DOX 42 with the cysteine protease cathepsin B alone. Reference: Bioconjug Chem. 2002 Jul-Aug;13(4):855-69. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12121142/
In vivo activity: The Mc-Val-Cit-PABOH linker (1, Fig. 2) displays high plasma stability (half-lives in mice and monkey of 6.0 and 9.6 days, respectively), and has been found to be superior over chemically labile linkers.
