Thus, we rationally designed, synthesized, and characterized new ITC derivatives (I1-3 and I1a-e) inspired by the natural compound sulforaphane. The anti-inflammatory properties of these compounds were evaluated by their inhibitory activities against cyclooxygenase targets COX-1 and COX-2. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of the compounds was tested using the MTT assay on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells, revealing no cytotoxic effects at low doses.

{"title":"Technical, preclinical, and clinical developments of Fc-glycan-specific antibody–drug conjugates","authors":"Qiang Yang and Yunpeng Liu","doi":"10.1039/D4MD00637B","DOIUrl":"10.1039/D4MD00637B","url":null,"abstract":"<p >Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a powerful avenue in the therapeutic treatment of cancer. Site-specific antibody–drug conjugations represent the latest trend in the development of ADCs, addressing the limitations of traditional random conjugation technologies. This article summarizes the innovative development of Fc-glycan-specific ADCs (gsADCs), which utilize the conserved Fc <em>N</em>-glycan as the anchor point for site-specific conjugation. This approach offers significant strengths, including improved ADC homogeneity and overall hydrophilicity, enhanced pharmacokinetics and therapeutic index, and potentially reduced Fc receptor-mediated side effects. Currently dozens of gsADCs are in different preclinical and clinical development stages. Notably, JSKN003 and IBI343 have demonstrated promising results in phase 1 trials and are advancing into phase 3 studies. This review discusses the advantages of Fc-glycan-conjugation, various glycan-specific conjugation techniques, and the preclinical and clinical development of gsADCs. While challenges such as increased manufacturing cost for large-scale production need continuous innovation to overcome and there are different opinions regarding the pros and cons of reduced/diminished affinities to Fc gamma receptors, ongoing research and clinical progress underscore the potential of gsADCs to renovate ADC cancer therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":21462,"journal":{"name":"RSC medicinal chemistry","volume":" 1","pages":" 50-62"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11575643/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142682724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
