Approved drug
sacituzumab tirumotecan is an approved drug
Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Sacituzumab tirumotecan (SKB264/MK-2870) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) [1-2]. It is the same humanized anti-TROP-2 monoclonal antibody as the previously approved ADC sacituzumab govitecan, but carrying a different topoisomerase inhibitor payload (tirumotecan/KL610023) that is a belotecan-derivative. TROP-2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein, cell surface antigen which has oncogenic activity in cancers of epithelial origin [6], but expression is restricted in normal tissue. Directing the topoisomerase inhibitor selectively to cancer cells via TROP-2 binding is predicted to limit toxicity towards healthy tissue/cells.
