Antibody-drug conjugates: smart chemotherapeutics

Written by Sino Biological

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a promising class of anticancer therapeutics, demonstrating improved precision and reduced off-target toxicity in targeting cancer cells. The development of ADCs involves careful consideration of various components, including target-specific antibodies, cytotoxic payloads, and linkers.

In this article, Sino Biological explores the structure of ADCs, the mechanism of action, the evolution of three generations, clinical success stories, challenges faced, and future directions, including novel payload designs and diverse applications beyond cancer therapy.
