Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

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. Reference: Tetrahedron Lett. 2018 Oct 3;59(40):3594-3599. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31156276/

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
