Abstract
Today, cancer continues to be one of the most dangerous diseases, annually causing the deaths of >9 million people in the world. Therefore, new and more effective methods of cancer therapy are in demand. Monoclonal antibody-based immunotherapy has already shown its effectiveness; and antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), as one of its successful variants, have significant and not yet fully realized potential. ADCs are monoclonal antibodies bound by linkers to cytotoxic drugs. In many clinical trials and already in standard clinical practice ADCs have demonstrated significant advantages over combination therapy with unmodified antibodies and chemotherapy drugs. Due to new achievements in the field of molecular immunology and biotechnology, the potential of ADCs is assessed as a breakthrough, which will allow them to become the most sought-after anticancer drugs in the coming years. Owing to ADC, it has become possible to deliver drugs to tumor cells in a targeted manner without significant toxic effects on healthy tissues and organs. To date, 15 ADC drugs have been approved worldwide for use in clinic, and more than a hundred more drugs of this class are at various stages of clinical trials. At the same time, therapy using ADC is associated with certain side effects and limited efficacy, and therefore there is a need to develop more advanced conjugates. This review examines the history of the development of ADC as a therapeutic class of drugs, their structure, targets and mechanism of action. It also outlines the prospects and directions for further development of ADCs.
