The patent application US20240033372A1 discloses a Drug Linking Assembly Unit represented by formulas (Ia), (IIa), (IIIa), or (IVa). The assembly unit includes specific components such as succinimido groups in L1 and L2, amino acids in X, X1, X2, Q1, and Q2, and a maleimido group in T, which can be a self-stabilizing linker or a MDPr-vc linker. The assembly unit can be used for linking anticancer agents like MMAE, MMAF, camptothecin, and doxorubicin, with complementary activity profiles, to a partitioning agent like polyethylene glycol or cyclodextrin.

Furthermore, the Drug Linking Assembly Unit described in the patent application allows for the attachment of anticancer agents such as MMAE, Auristatin T, MMAF, and Dolastatin 10, or a combination of MMAE, camptothecin, Superdox, Dolastatin 10, Vinblastine, and Ciprofloxacin to cysteine molecules via specific linkers. The assembly unit also includes a terminal maleimido group represented by specific formulas, providing a versatile platform for drug conjugation. Additionally, the assembly unit features a succinimido group in R23, enhancing the stability and efficacy of the drug conjugates. The patent application covers a range of drug linking possibilities and configurations for targeted drug delivery applications.
