Val-Cit-PAB-MMAE

Val-Cit-PAB-MMAE is a precursor of antibody drug conjugate. It contains a a protease-sensitive Val-Cit dipeptide, and a MMAE payload. The MMAE is a synthetic antineoplastic agent. It can be attached to a monoclonal antibody (MAB) which directs it toward cancer cells.

Val-Cit-PAB-MMAE is a agent-linker conjugate for ADC. Val-Cit-PAB-MMAE contains the ADCs linker (peptide Val-Cit-PAB) and a potent tubulin inhibitor MMAE (HY-15162). MMAE a potent mitotic inhibitor by inhibiting tubulin polymerization.
