The present invention relates to anti-cKIT antibodies, antibody fragments, antibody drug conjugates, and their uses for the treatment of cancer.

CKIT antibody drug conjugates

The present invention provides specific sites for modifying antibodies or antibody fragments by replacing at least one native amino acid in the constant region of a parental antibody or antibody fragment with cysteine, which can be used as a site of attachment for a payload or linker-payload combination.

Specific sites for modifying antibodies to make immunoconjugates

Disclosed herein are novel cytotoxic peptides of formula (I) as described herein: and the use of such peptides in making immunoconjugates (i.e Antibody Drug Conjugates) Also described herein are immunoconjugates (i.e Antibody Drug Conjugates) comprising such novel cytotoxic peptide linked to an antigen binding moiety, such as an antibody; where such immunoconjugates are useful for treating cell proliferative disorders. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising these immunoconjugates, compositions comprising the immunoconjugates with a therapeutic co-agent, and methods to use these immunoconjugates and compositions for treating cell proliferation disorders.

Cytotoxic peptides and conjugates thereof

Disclosed herein are novel compounds of formula (I) as described herein: and the use of such peptides in making immunoconjugates (i.e Antibody Drug Conjugates) Also described herein are immunoconjugates (i.e Antibody Drug Conjugates) comprising such novel compound linked to an antigen binding moiety, such as an antibody; where such immunoconjugates are useful for treating cell proliferative disorders. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising these immunoconjugates, compositions comprising the immunoconjugates with a therapeutic co-agent, and methods to use these immunoconjugates and compositions for treating cell proliferation disorders.

The invention disclosed herein relates to cytotoxic cyclic peptides of Formula (I), methods of inhibiting RNA polymerase with such cyclic peptides, immunoconjugates comprising such cyclic peptides (i.e Antibody Drug Conjugates), pharmaceutical compositions comprising such cyclic peptides immunoconjugates, compositions comprising such cyclic peptides immunoconjugates with a therapeutic co-agent and methods of treatment using such cyclic peptides immunoconjugates: 

Amatoxin derivatives and conjugates thereof as inhibitors of RNA polymerase

Auristatin derivatives and conjugates thereof

Disclosed herein is pyrroline-carboxy-lysine (PCL), a pyrrolysine analog, which is a natural, biosynthetically generated amino acid, and methods for biosynthetically generating PCL. Also disclosed herein are proteins, polypeptides and peptides that have PCL incorporated therein and methods for incorporating PCL into such proteins, polypeptides and peptides. Also disclosed herein is the site-specific derivatization of proteins, polypeptides and peptides having PCL or pyrrolysine incorporated therein. Also disclosed herein is the crosslinking of proteins, polypeptides and peptides having PCL or pyrrolysine incorporated therein.

Biosynthetically generated pyrroline-carboxy-lysine and site specific protein modifications via chemical derivatization of pyrroline-carboxy-lysine and pyrrolysine residues

Disclosed herein is pyrroline-carboxy-lysine (PCL), a pyrrolysine analogue, which is a natural, biosynthetically generated amino acid, and methods for biosynthetically generating PCL.
