Abstrakt: An enhanced variant of the antimitotic toxin cryptophycin was conjugated to the anti-Her2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) Trastuzumab upon Michael addition. Either antibodies with freed hinge-region cysteines or THIOMAB formats with engineered cysteines in the mAbs light chain were added to a maleimide derivative of cryptophycin. These Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) showed retained binding to Her2 positive tumor cells and highly efficient cell killing in double-digit pM range on high Her2-expressing SK-BR-3 cells. Two ADCs (DAR 6, DAR 3) showed superior cell killing of the cell lines JIMT-1 and RT112 with medium receptor expression level in comparison with a DAR 6 MMAE ADC serving as reference. The observed cell cytotoxicity is target-dependent since no impact on cell viability was observed for low Her2-expressing MDA-MB468 cells. Particularly the DAR 3 ADC in THIOMAB format exhibiting desirable biophysical properties and high potency emerged as a promising candidate for further in vivo investigations.
