• Glycosite-specific conjugation technology
    Glycosite-specific conjugation technology for ADCs, developed by GlycanLink, can specifically conjugate drug payloads to Asn297 N-glycan of IgG Fc, involved in two generations, which are GL-OligosacLinkTM and GL-DisacLinkTM.
    • GL-OligosacLinkTM——The first generation of "two enzymes & three steps" ADC preparation technology
    • ADCs with DAR value of 4/8/12 can be quickly achieved by specific enzyme-catalyzed methods. ADCs prepared by this method remain ADCC activity and FcRn functions of antibodies, and have excellent in vivo activity, pharmacokinetic activity, and safety.
    • GL-DisacLinkTM——The second generation of "one enzyme & one step" ADC preparation technology
    • Using disaccharide substrates developed by GlycanLink, ADCs can be achieved by a one-step reaction catalyzed by specific enzymes. The reaction is simple and efficient, and does not rely on bioorthogonal reactions. Compared with similar competitors, ADCs prepared by this method can reduce immunocytotoxicity and maintain the FcRn function. In addition, due to their good hydrophilicity and stability, these ADCs have significantly excellent in vivo activity, pharmacokinetic activity, and safety.
    • GL-DisacLinkTM——The new generation of "one enzyme & two steps" ADC preparation technology
    • Using azide bisaccharide substrates developed by GlycanLink, glycan-modified antibodies with linkers are prepared under the catalysis of specific enzymes, and then through bioorthogonal reactions, a variety of linkers and drug payloads can be applied to obtain ADCs with a wider range of DAR values.
  • GlycanLink has developed a thioester-based acyl transfer reagent, which directly assembles the toxin precisely onto the specific Lys position of native IgGs and simultaneously self-releases the affinity ligand in one step. We harnessed a chemical method to obtain the site-specific ADCs with "one-step" and "traceless" strategy for the first time. Our Lys-specific conjugation technology does not rely on reprograming IgG and bioorthogonal reactions, and are compatible with various substrates and antibodies.
  • GlycanLink has developed a N-terminal modification technology to obtain azide antibodies, and then produce ADCs with more DAR values through click reaction, which are compatible with various substrates and antibodies.
  • GlycanLink has developed a novel and efficient C-terminal modification technology to facilitate ADC research. Through self-separation of Fab or Fc fusion proteins, azide antibodies were obtained. And then ADCs with more DAR values were obtained by click reaction, which were compatible with a variety of antibody substrates and payloads.
