Effects of Drug Loading on the Antitumor Activity of a Monoclonal Antibody Drug Conjugate. Clin. Cancer Res. 2004, 10, 7063–7070 Mechanism of Action 1. The ADC travels through the systemic circulation to the tumor tissue 2. The antibody binds to the target antigen on the cell surface 3. The ADC complex is then internalized (majority, but not all ADCs) 4. If the ADC has a cleavable linker this is cleaved releasing the cytotoxic payload intracellularly 5. If the linker is non-cleavable, lysosomal degradation of the antibody backbone occurs with release of the cytotoxic payload 6. Microtubule inhibition or other action occurs via binding of the cytotoxic payloads to tubulin (specific to cytotoxic payload utilized) 7. Cell death/apoptosis 8. Bystander Effect - Diffusion of cytotoxic payload across the cell membrane can result in cell death of neighboring cells Calo CA, O'Malley DM.
