A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11833214B2) discloses a method for preparing a cell-binding agent-cytotoxic agent conjugate, involving a cell-binding agent (CysCBA) with unpaired cysteine residues linked to a cytotoxic agent. The method includes steps such as reacting a reducing agent with a capped cell-binding agent to form a reduced cell-binding agent, followed by reacting it with a selective oxidizing agent to form the CysCBA. The CysCBA is then reacted with a specific compound to create the conjugate.
The patent further details variations in the method, such as the use of different oxidizing agents like dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA), copper sulfate, oxygen, or air, as well as specific reducing agents like TCEP or DPPA. The molar ratio of the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent, the pH range for reactions, and the specific compound formula (I) used in the process are also specified. The method is particularly useful for preparing an antibody-cytotoxic agent conjugate (ADC) for targeted therapy, with the patent providing a detailed formula representation for the final conjugate. This innovative method showcases advancements in the field of conjugate preparation for potential applications in the development of targeted cancer therapies.
