MC-Val-Cit-PAB-MMAF (Cat No.: I017897) is a synthetic drug-linker conjugate used in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for targeted cancer therapy. It consists of MC-Val-Cit, a protease-cleavable linker, PAB (p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl) as a self-immolative spacer, and MMAF (Monomethyl Auristatin F), a potent antimitotic agent. The linker is selectively cleaved by cathepsins in tumor cells, releasing MMAF to inhibit tubulin polymerization and induce apoptosis. This conjugate enhances ADC stability and specificity, minimizing off-target toxicity while maximizing therapeutic efficacy in treating various cancers, including lymphomas and solid tumors.
