Dxd (Exatecan derivative for ADC) is a potent DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor, with an IC50 of 0.31 μM, used as a conjugated drug of HER2-targeting ADC (DS-8201a). Dxd is cytotoxic to human cancer cell lines of KPL-4, NCI-N87, SK-BR-3, and MDA-MB-468 with IC50s of 1.43 nM-4.07 nM, but the control IgG-ADC (Dxd is the payload) shows no inhibition on the four cell lines (with HER2 expression). DS-8201a (Dxd is the payload) displays significant suppression on the HER2-positive KPL-4, NCI-N87, and SK-BR-3 cell lines, with IC50 values of 26.8, 25.4, and 6.7 ng/mL, respectively, but with no such inhibition on MDA-MB-468. DXd is a part structure of DS-1062a which is a trophoblast cell surface protein 2 (TROP2)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a humanized anti-TROP2 monoclonal antibody, enzymatically cleavable peptide-linker, and DXd. DXd is an important part structure of DS-7300a, a novel B7-H3-targeting ADC, using DXd-ADC technology, which is composed of a humanized anti-B7-H3 mAb, an enzymatically cleavable tetra-peptide-based linker, and a potent TOP1 inhibitor, DXd.

Competitive ELISA analysis of Dxd was performed by coating wells of a 96-well plate with 50 µl per well of Dxd-MAL-SH-BSA diluted in carbonate/bicarbonate buffer, at a concentration of 1 µg/mL overnight at 4℃. Wells of the plate were washed, blocked with 1%BSA blocking buffer, and incubated with 50 µL per well of Dxd monoclonal antibody (HA601134) at concentration of 1 µg/mL with serial diluted Dxd starting from a concentration of 10µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature. The plate was washed and incubated with 50 µl per well of an HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (HA1006) at a dilution of 1:5,000 for one hour at room temperature. Detection was performed using an Ultra TMB Substrate for 10 minutes at room temperature in the dark. The reaction was stopped with sulfuric acid and absorbances were read on a spectrophotometer at 450 nm.
Indirect ELISA was performed to compare the Herceptin-Exatecan-binding activities of the two antibodies. Wells of a 96-well plate were coated with 50 µL per well of Herceptin-Exatecan ADC (1 µg/mL) diluted in carbonate/bicarbonate buffer and incubated overnight at 4℃. The plate was then washed and blocked with 1% BSA blocking buffer for 1 hour at room temperature. Following blocking, the wells were incubated with 50 µL per well of serial dilutions of the primary antibody HA601134 (PSH0-37) or HA721474 (PSH0-73) for 1 hour at room temperature. After another wash step, the plate was incubated with 50 µL per well of HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies—goat anti-mouse IgG (HA1006) or goat anti-rabbit IgG (HA1001)—at dilutions of 1:5,000 and 1:35,000, respectively, for 1 hour at room temperature. Signal development was carried out using Ultra TMB Substrate for 10 minutes at room temperature in the dark. The enzymatic reaction was stopped by the addition of sulfuric acid, and the absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer.
