Abstract
In recent years, antibody conjugates have evolved as state-of-the-art options for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. During site-selective antibody conjugation, incomplete rebridging of antibody chains limits the homogeneity of conjugates and calls for the development of new rebridging agents. Herein, we report a dibromopyrazine derivative optimized to reach highly homogeneous conjugates rapidly and with high conversion on rebridging of trastuzumab, even providing a feasible route for antibody modification in acidic conditions. Furthermore, coupling a fluorescent dye and a cytotoxic drug resulted in effective antibody conjugates with excellent serum stability and in vitro selectivity, demonstrating the utility of the dibromopyrazine rebridging agent to produce on-demand future antibody conjugates for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
期刊介绍:
Bioconjugate Chemistry invites original contributions on all research at the interface between man-made and biological materials. The mission of the journal is to communicate to advances in fields including therapeutic delivery, imaging, bionanotechnology, and synthetic biology. Bioconjugate Chemistry is intended to provide a forum for presentation of research relevant to all aspects of bioconjugates, including the preparation, properties and applications of biomolecular conjugates.
