A strategy for covalent modification of monoclonal antibodies utilizing the oxidized oligosaccharide moieties on molecule was evaluated and compared to more conventional methods. As judged by quantitative in vitro measurements, a antibody conjugate prepared via oligosaccharides retained homogeneous antigen binding property affinity unmodified antibody. In contrast, conjugates same antibody, modified degree either lysines or aspartic glutamic acid side chains, were heterogeneous their had...
The (6-maleimidocaproyl)hydrazone of doxorubicin was synthesized and conjugated to several mAbs, including chimeric BR96, via a Michael addition reaction thiol-containing mAbs. DTT reduction disulfides present in the mAb reliable general method for generating consistent number reactive SH groups. conjugates, after purification by Bio-Beads, were free unreacted linker and/or doxorubicin. All conjugates released under acidic conditions that mimic lysosomal environment, while they relatively...
High mole ratio BR96 immunoconjugates were synthesized using branched peptide-doxorubicin linkers designed to liberate doxorubicin following antigen-specific internalization into lysosomes. However, these are highly prone noncovalent, dimeric aggregation. We hypothesize that this is due (1) the hydrophobic nature of peptides, (2) loss positive charge upon amide formation at 3'-amino group doxorubicin, and (3) proximity peptide residues form efficient intermolecular stacking interactions. By...
The synthesis of the highly potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor 1 (BMS-594726) is described. In key construction step, an enantioselective alkylation indole nucleus with alpha-branched alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde 7 was accomplished utilizing MacMillan's imidazolidinone catalyst 3b. A rationale presented for unexpected stereochemical result, as well novel reactivity substrate. [reaction: see text]
Immunoconjugates of monoclonal antibody BR96 and Doxorubicin have been prepared using a novel series branched hydrazone linkers. Since each linker bound to the mAb carries two DOX molecules, DOX/mAb molar ratios these conjugates were approximately 16, twice that those previously with single-chain The stable at physiological pH 7, but released rapidly lysosomal 5. demonstrated antigen-specific cytotoxicity, more potent in vitro than conjugate on both (4-14-fold) (7-23-fold) basis. results...
The development of alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists is considered a promising approach for the treatment cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia patients. In present studies we characterized novel agent, (2R)-N-(6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-4-pyrimidinyl)-4'H-spiro[4-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,5'-[1,3]oxazol]-2'-amine (BMS-933043), vitro and rodent models schizophrenia-like deficits cognition sensory processing. BMS-933043 showed potent binding affinity to native rat (Ki = 3.3 nM)...
Stability of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in mouse serum is one the critical requirements for evaluation ADCs tumor models. Described herein a strategy to address instability uncialamycin linker-payloads through various chemical approaches that involve modification different parts linker and payload. This effort ultimately led identification m-amide p-aminobenzyl carbamate (MA-PABC) group resulted linkers with dramatic improvement stability without affecting desired proteolytic cleavage.

The antidepressant activity of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor channel blocker, ketamine, has led to investigation negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) selective for NR2B subtype. clinical development NAMs would benefit from a translational pharmacodynamic biomarker that demonstrates brain penetration and functional inhibition receptors in preclinical species humans. Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) is measure can be used demonstrate effects across species. NMDA blockers,...
