The present invention relates to an
antibody conjugate that is particularly suitable for targeting Trop-2 expressing cells, especially
tumor cells. The
antibody conjugate according to the invention has the structure (1), where AB is an
antibody capable of targeting Trop-2 expressing tumors, L is a
linker connecting Z to D, Z is a connecting group, and L 6 -GlcNAc(Fuc) w -(G) j -S-(L 7 ) w’ -, in which G is a
monosaccharide, j is an integer
ranging from 0 to 10, S is a
sugar or a
sugar derivative, GlcNAc is N-
acetylglucosamine, Fuc is
fucose, w is 0 or 1, w' is 0, 1, or 2, and L 7 is -N(H)C(O)CH2-, -N(H)C(O)CF2-, or -CH2-, D is exatecan, b is 0 or 1, x is 1 or 2, and y is 1, 2, 3, or 4. The present invention further relates to methods for preparing the antibody conjugates of structure (1) and applications of the antibody conjugates of structure (1).
