6-Maleimidohexanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester has been used widely for preparation of enzyme immunoconjugates as a unique heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent. Its heterobifunctional reactivity is good, but its ester portion hydrolyzes easily in

Paragraph 0546; 0563-0564, (2020/02/06)
The present disclosure provides novel polypeptide-therapeutic compound or hormone-therapeutic compound conjugates using cleavable or non-cleavable linkers, whereby the polypeptide or hormone serves to target specific cells using receptor expression on the targeted cell to bind the ligand (polypeptide or hormone) carrying the therapeutic compound unlike antibody drug conjugates. Upon binding, the ligand and the therapeutic compound (multiples of the therapeutic compound in some embodiments) enter the cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis, and release drugs conjugated to the ligand by linkers, to interact with intracellular components to enhance, restore, or block a signal transduction process. The ligands for the polypeptide-therapeutic compound or hormone-therapeutic compound conjugates include, but are not limited to: cytokines, growth factors and hormones among other proteins with corresponding cell surface specific receptors. The disorders targeted by such polypeptide-therapeutic compound or hormone-therapeutic compound conjugates include, but are not limited to: immunological disorders (e.g., allergy and autoimmune disorders) and cancer.
