[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 189,522, filed May 17, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0002] The present invention relates to conjugate therapeutic enhancers that are useful for preventing and / or treating various conditions, disorders, or diseases. In particular, the present invention relates to protein conjugates, such as antibody-drug conjugates, that can function as therapeutic enhancers. [Background technology]
[0003] Conjugate therapeutic enhancers are widely used to prevent and / or treat various conditions, disorders, and diseases. Such enhancers typically include a therapeutically active molecule, such as an antibody, linked to a moiety that has affinity for a specific target involved in the condition, disorder, or disease. However, most of the known conjugation techniques are not directed to a specific site of the therapeutically active molecule and usually result in a mixture of conjugates. There is still a need in the development of site-specific conjugation techniques that provide reaction products with a high degree of homogeneity. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising a therapy enhancer agent that contains a moiety of interest conjugated to a targeting agent moiety at a specific location.

MeOH (1.0 mL) was then added and N2 was bubbled for another 30 min. The resin was washed with DMF (20 mL), followed by 20% piperidine in DMF (10 mL) and N2 was bubbled for 30 min at 25° C. for Fmoc deprotection. The mixture was filtered and the resin was washed with DMF (10 mL) before proceeding to the next step.

Then, DIEA (6.00 equiv.) was added dropwise to the mixture and bubbled with N2 for 30 min at 25° C. The coupling reaction was monitored by ninhydrin test, and the coupling was complete when it showed no color. The resin was then washed with DMF (20 mL).
[0082] Deprotection: 20% piperidine in DMF (20 mL) was added to the resin, and the mixture was bubbled with N2 for 30 min at 25° C. The deprotection reaction was monitored by ninhydrin test, and the reaction was complete when it showed a blue or brownish red color. The resin was then washed with DMF (20 mL).
