Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a precision medicine breakthrough in cancer therapy, combining the targeting specificity of monoclonal antibodies with potent cytotoxic drugs. This three-component system—antibody, linker, and payload—delivers chemotherapy directly to tumor cells while minimizing systemic toxicity. Despite over 15 FDA-approved ADCs showing clinical success, two critical challenges remain: tumor heterogeneity, where variable antigen expression limits efficacy, and complex manufacturing processes that increase costs and development timelines. This eBook presents innovations addressing both challenges through AI-guided payload design for enhanced bystander killing, streamlined one-pot synthesis, and advanced analytical characterization methods.
