NCIt definition : An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a humanized monoclonal antibody directed
against human sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2B (SLC34A2; NaPi2b), conjugated,
via a protease-cleavable tripeptide linker, to a topoisomerase-1 inhibitor (TOP1i;
TOP-Ii), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of anti-NaPi2b
ADC YL205, the antibody moiety targets and binds to NaPi2b expressed on tumor cells.
Upon binding, cellular uptake and linker cleavage, the TOP1i moiety is released. The
TOP1i inhibits DNA topoisomerase I activity, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and
generating DNA single- and double-strand breaks. This leads to cell cycle arrest and
tumor cell apoptosis. In addition, ADC YL205 is able to induce a bystander effect
on neighboring tumor cells. This inhibits the proliferation of NaPi2b-expressing tumor
cells. NaPi2b, a tumor-associated antigen (TAA), is overexpressed on a variety of
cancer cells and plays a key role in the transport of inorganic phosphate (Pi) and
the maintenance of phosphate homeostasis.;
