Trastuzumab deruxtecan is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of three components: 1) a humanized anti-HER2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) with the same amino acid sequence as trastuzumab, covalently linked to 2) a topoisomerase I inhibitor, an exatecan derivative, via 3) a tetrapeptide-based cleavable linker. Deruxtecan is composed of the linker and the topoisomerase I inhibitor.
The antibody is produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells by recombinant DNA technology and the topoisomerase I inhibitor and linker are produced by chemical synthesis. Approximately 8 molecules of deruxtecan are attached to each antibody molecule.
