mertansine

Mertansine (DM1) refers to the thiol-containing maytansinoid, DM1 (N2'-deacetyl-N2'-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)maytansine) attached to a monoclonal antibody through reaction of the thiol group with the SPP (N-succinimidyl 4-(2-pyridyldithio)) linker to create an antibody-drug conjugate or ADC. Experimental ADCs with the SPP-DM1 design include lorvotuzumab mertansine.

SC-VC-PAB-DM1 is a drug-linker conjugate used in Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC), combining DM1 (Mertansine, a tubulin inhibitor) with the SC-VC-PAB[1] ADC linker to deliver potent antitumor activity.

DBCO-PEG4-Ahx-DM1 is a drug-linker conjugate that combines the microtubulin inhibitor DM1 (mertansine), an antibody-conjugatable maytansinoid designed to reduce systemic toxicity and improve tumor-specific delivery, with the linker DBCO-PEG4-Ahx, for developing antibody drug conjugates (ADCs).

DM1-(PEG)4-DBCO is a drug-linker conjugate that combines the potent microtubulin inhibitor mertansine (DM1) with the DBCO-PEG4-Ahx linker for developing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). This conjugation aims to mitigate systemic toxicity associated with maytansine while improving tumor-specific delivery, leveraging DM1’s ability as an antibody-conjugatable maytansinoid.
