MMAE is the tubulin-blocking payload in brentuximab, enfortumab, polatuzumab and tisotumab vedotin, four approved ADCs: it halts cell division and, being membrane permeable, leaks into neighbouring tumour cells. Nerve damage and low neutrophil counts are its signature side effects.
Monomethyl auristatin E is a synthetic analogue of dolastatin 10 that binds tubulin and halts mitosis. Released by cleavable linkers (typically valine-citrulline), it is membrane permeable, giving a strong bystander effect. It is a substrate for P-glycoprotein, which drives resistance. Peripheral neuropathy and neutropenia are class effects seen with brentuximab vedotin, enfortumab vedotin, polatuzumab vedotin and tisotumab vedotin.
