AMG-172 is an antibody-drug conjugate ( ADC ) composed of a fully human IgG1 monoclonal anti- CD27L antibody conjugated to DM1 via the non-cleavable linker MCC. AMG-172 releases the intracellular active component Lysine-MCC-DM through catabolism. Lysine-MCC-DM inhibits the assembly and disassembly dynamics of Microtubule and induces cell arrest at metaphase. AMG-172 can be used for research on relapsed/refractory clear cell renal cell carcinoma [1].
