Specification
Description
DM1-SMe is a potent maytansinoid microtubular inhibitor and an unconjugated DM1 as a mixed disulfide with thiomethane to cap its sulfhydryl group. DM1-SMe can be readily conjugate to the SH group of an antibody to form antibody-drug conjugate (ADC).
Synonyms

In Vitro Activity
DM1-SMe was tested against the PPTP's (pediatric preclinical testing program) in vitro cell line panel at concentrations ranging from 0.01 nM to 0.1 μM and 0.3 pM to 3 nM, respectively, using the PPTP's standard 96 hour exposure period. The median rIC50 for DM1-SMe was 0.06 nM, respectively (Table I). The neuroblastoma panel showed significantly higher rIC50 values compared to non-neuroblastoma cell lines for DM1-SMe (2.5 nM and 0.039 nM, respectively).
