Introduction of ADC Drug Design
ADC Drug Design is a specialized approach within the field of computer-aided drug design that focuses on developing targeted cancer therapies. ADCs consist of a monoclonal antibody linked to a potent cytotoxic drug molecule via a linker. These ADCs are classified based on the antibody component, the linker chemistry, and the cytotoxic payload. Through computational techniques like molecular modeling, pharmacophore analysis, and molecular docking, ADC drug design aims to optimize the selectivity, efficacy, and safety of these conjugates by predicting binding interactions, stability, and pharmacokinetic properties.
