RESUMEN
A novel pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer payload, SG3227, was rationally designed based on the naturally occurring antitumour compound sibiromycin. SG3227 was synthesized from a dimeric core in an efficient fashion. An unexpected room temperature Diels-Alder reaction occurred during the final step of the synthesis and was circumvented by use of an iodoacetamide conjugation moiety in place of a maleimide. The payload was successfully conjugated to trastuzumab and the resulting ADC exhibited potent activity against a HER2-expressing human cancer cell line in vitro.
