AI Technical Summary
There is a need for alternative or improved cytotoxic compounds that can be used both as direct anticancer drugs and as payloads in antibody-drug conjugates, as existing ADCs face challenges in development due to the complexity of payloads and linkers, and there has been limited progress in enhancing the medical applications of trabectedin and lurubinectedin derivatives.
Development of novel trabectedin and lurubinectedin derivatives, including specific compounds represented by formulas (I), (VII), and (XIII), which are used as payloads in antibody-drug conjugates, specifically with antibodies like sirumutuzumab, sacituzumab, and trastuzumab, to target cancer cells effectively.
The novel derivatives exhibit improved in vitro potency against tumor cell lines, including ovarian, gastric, and breast cancer cells, with enhanced cytotoxicity when used alone and in antibody-drug conjugates, demonstrating potential as potent therapeutic agents for these cancers.
