structural mechanisms, clinical advantages, opportunities and challenges

Small molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs) are a new type of targeted therapy drug that originated from the optimization exploration of traditional chemotherapy and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). They aim to improve efficacy and reduce systemic toxicity through precise delivery, and have advantages in targeting, safety, and cost. Currently, no SMDC has been approved for marketing in the world. About 10 candidate drugs are in the clinical stage. Their indications are mainly solid tumors. They provide new strategies for drug-resistant tumors and are expected to expand to other disease areas. SMDC combines the flexibility of small molecule drugs with the synergistic potential of conjugation technology, promoting the evolution of tumor treatment towards high efficiency and low toxicity, and becoming a potential branch in the conjugated drug track. Mechanism of action of SMDC Small molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs) consist of three parts: small molecule targeting ligands, linkers, and payload drugs. Its mechanism of ...
