The document discusses antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which connect cytotoxic drugs to monoclonal antibodies. ADCs selectively deliver drugs to cancer cells by binding to antigens on tumors. The ADC-antigen complex is internalized and the linker connecting the drug is cleaved in the lysosome, releasing the cytotoxic drug to induce apoptosis. Common linkers are cleaved at low pH in lysosomes or are self-immolative. Future research aims to develop more selective and potent ADCs targeting specific tumor antigens.
