Seco-DUBA, a duocarmycin (DUBA) prodrug, possess two hydroxyl groups suitable for antibody coupling through a linker. This compound, serving as a precursor, enables the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
Vc-seco-DUBA is a drug-linker conjugate for ADC with potent antitumor activity by using DUBA (DNA alkylating agent), linked via the ADC linker Vc-seco[1].
