Process for preparing antibody-drug conjugates with improved homogeneity

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an applicable bio-conjugation process for preparing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with improved homogeneity. As compared with conventional conjugation process, the homogeneity of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) products generated from the bio-conjugation process can be dramatically improved. Specifically, in the ADCs prepared by the process of the present disclosure, the content of D0+D8 is less than 10 wt % and the content of D6 is less than 10 wt %. Moreover, the content of D4 is generally more than 65 wt %, for example, more than 70 wt %, and more than 77 wt %, while the content of D4 is normally less than 40 wt % in the ADCs prepared by conventional conjugation processes.
