Incubation Time 96h Release 0.4% Reference

Incubation Medium Mouse serum
Description
First, we assessed the linker-drug stability of our trastuzumab-based ADCs in serum. To this end, Tras-Exa (DAR4), Tras-Bel (DAR4) and T-DXd (DAR8) were monitored overtime for their payload release in mouse and human sera (Table 2, Fig. S28) by the detection of free exatecan, belotecan and DXd via LC-MS/MS. Following 96 h incubation of the ADCs in sera, minimal amounts of the conjugated payload were released from both Tras-Exa and Tras-Bel ADCs in mouse (0.4% and 0.2%, respectively) and human (0.3% and 0.2%, respectively) sera.

Experiment 1 Reporting the Activity Date of This ADC [1]
Efficacy Data Half Maximal inhibitory Concentration (lC50) 0.6 nM High HER2 expression (HER2 +++)
Method Description
HCC-1954, JIMT-1 and MDA-MB-468 cells were plated in 24-well culture plates (5000, 5000 and 10,000 cells/well, respectively) and incubated for 24 h. Cells were then exposed to serial dilutions of trastuzumab, free exatecan, or Tras-Exa (DAR4) ADC. Cell viability was evaluated following 6 days of incubation using MTT (3 ug/mL, Sigma). MTT absorbance was measured at 570 nm using SpectraMax M5e multi-detection reader.
