The ADC linker is one of the three main components of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), linking the antibody to the effective drug (payload) through chemical bonds. ADC linkers play a key role in determining the overall success of antibody drug conjugates. One of the major challenges in developing safe and effective ADC drugs is to assemble an ideal chemical linker between the cytotoxic payload and the mAb. Well-designed ADC linkers can help the selective delivery of antibodies at the tumor site and the accurate release of cytotoxic drugs.
Benzene is an important organic compound with the chemical formula C6H6, and its molecule consists of a ring of 6 carbon atoms, each with 1 hydrogen atom. Benzene is a sweet, flammable, colorless and transparent liquid with carcinogenic toxicity at room temperature, and has a strong aromatic odor. It is insoluble in water, easily soluble in organic solvents, and can also be used as an organic solvent itself. The ring system of benzene is called benzene ring, and the structure after removing one hydrogen atom from the benzene ring is called phenyl. Benzene is one of the most important basic organic chemical raw materials. Many important chemical intermediates can be derived from benzene through substitution reaction, addition reaction and benzene ring cleavage reaction.
