Payload-linker synthesis makes the cytotoxic small molecules inside ADCs (exatecan, MMAE, DM1, PBD dimers), whose occupational exposure limits sit in the nanogram range, in facilities built so a speck of dust cannot harm a worker. A handful of licensed sites such as Lonza and WuXi STA supply them, and their lead times gate hundreds of ADCs in development.
Camptothecin derivatives (exatecan, DXd), auristatins (MMAE/MMAF), maytansinoids (DM1/DM4), and PBD dimers are synthesised under OEB 5/6 containment by specialists (Lonza, MilliporeSigma, WuXi STA, Piramal, Sterling, Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma, Levena, Cerbios, Kelun in-house) and sold as ready-to-conjugate linker-payloads. Supply is a gating factor for the hundreds of ADCs in development.
Multi-step synthesis and purification of cytotoxic small molecules and linkers under engineered containment, with occupational exposure limits in the nanogram range.
