Intocell
Partner
IntoCell is a Korea-based biotechnology company dedicated to the development and commercialisation of novel antibody drug conjugate platform technologies. The company has developed a state of the art linker technology comprising of a novel self-immolative group based on OHPAS (Ortho-Hydroxy Protected Aryl Sulfate) chemistry that works with a wide variety of phenolic and non-phenolic payloads. The OHPAS linker is designed to release phenolic payloads through intramolecular cyclization, mediated by ortho-hydroxyl group temporarily blocked by a triggering group. The technology has been extended to non-phenolics by introducing a phenolic spacer. The linker, with or without phenolic spacer, has been applied to full ADCs, which showed excellent dose dependent efficacy both in vitro and in vivo.
