Precision targeting in oncology: The future of conjugated drugs

Abstract

Coupled drugs, especially antibody-coupled drugs (ADCs), are a hot topic in oncology. As the development of ADCs has progressed, different coupling modes have emerged, inspired by their structural design have emerged. Technological advances have led to interweaving and collision of old and new concepts of coupled drugs, and have even challenged the concepts and techniques of coupled drugs at this stage. For example, antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates are a new class of chimeric biomolecules synthesized by coupling oligonucleotides with monoclonal antibodies through linkers, offering precise targeting and improved pharmacokinetic properties. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of action of coupled drugs and their current development status in antitumor therapy to provide better strategies for antitumor therapy.
