Optimizing ADC Therapeutics: The Critical Role of Peptide Linkers in Targeted Drug Delivery

Introduction

Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) represent a groundbreaking advancement in targeted cancer therapy, and peptide linkers play a pivotal role in their stability, efficacy, and safety. This article explores the importance of peptide linkers in ADC design and highlights the expertise of KS-V Peptide in developing high-performance linker solutions.

Why Are Peptide Linkers Essential for ADCs?

1. Controlled Payload Release
   Peptide linkers enable selective drug release in the tumor microenvironment through enzymatic cleavage or pH-sensitive mechanisms, minimizing off-target toxicity.

2. Enhanced Stability
   Optimized peptide linkers improve ADC stability in systemic circulation, preventing premature payload release and ensuring efficient drug delivery.

3. Customizable Design
   Linker chemistry can be tailored to match specific antibodies, payloads, and therapeutic requirements, allowing for precision-engineered ADCs.
