A novel series of hybrid molecules combining pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) and anthracenecarboxyimide pharmacophores were designed, synthesized, and tested forin vitrocytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines. The most potent compound from this series,37b3, exhibited a subnanomolar level of cytotoxicity with an IC50of 0.17–0.94 nM.37b3induced DNA damage and led to tumor cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. We employed37b3as a payload to conjugate with trastuzumab to obtain the antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) T-PBA. T-PBA maintained its mode of target and internalization ability of trastuzumab. We demonstrated that T-PBA could be degraded through the lysosomal pathway to release the payload37b3after internalization. T-PBA showed a powerful killing effect on Her2-positive cancer cellsin vitro. Furthermore, T-PBA significantly inhibited tumor growth in gastric and ovarian cancer xenograft mouse models without overt toxicity. Collectively, these studies suggest that T-PBA represents a promising new ADC that deserves further investigation.
