Overview

vcMMAE is a linker-payload system commonly utilized in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). It comprises a valine-citrulline (vc) dipeptide linker conjugated to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), a potent synthetic antimitotic agent. MMAE exerts its cytotoxic effects by disrupting microtubule polymerization, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in rapidly dividing cancer cells. When incorporated into an ADC, the vc linker is designed to be cleaved by lysosomal proteases within the tumor cell, thereby releasing the active MMAE payload specifically at the target site.
