To date, more than 10 antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and contribute to the medical community.

Interestingly, all of them are manufactured using chemical conjugation techniques [1]. This demonstrates that chemical conjugation is the primary approach to ADC manufacturing. Compared to other conjugation techniques (e.g., genetic engineering or enzymatic), chemical conjugation has the advantage of a relatively simple chemistry, manufacturing, and control (CMC) for ADC, prompting pharmaceutical companies to choose this technique for ADC projects [2].

To better understand this advantage, this article provides an overview of established full chemical conjugation methods that have already been applied in the scale-up phase for ADC production.
