Abstract
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II membrane glycoprotein overexpressed in a variety of tumors, especially in nearly all prostate cancers, which makes it a potentially attractive antigen for targeted cancer therapies. More importantly, PSMA, due to no shedding into circulation and efficient internalization after antibody binding, becomes a potential target for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), a valid and emerging paradigm of cancer treatment. Four and eight PSMA-directed ADCs have been or are currently being investigated in clinical trials (three of which failed to confirm the promising results while one is currently being evaluated in an ongoing clinical study) and preclinical studies, respectively, for the treatment of PSMA-positive solid tumors, especially prostate cancer. The present study aims to completely review clinical- and preclinical-stage PSMA-directed ADCs.
期刊介绍：
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
