Abstract:
Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are an exciting class of oncologic therapeutics. ADCs have been FDA approved in hematologic malignancies and breast cancer and are a growing area of study in numerous solid malignancies. The desire for tumor-specific therapies with decreased systemic toxicity has driven over a decade of research into the design and optimization of ADCs, which are now in a third generation of development. Gynecologic malignancies in particular suffer a dearth of novel therapies. This review will examine the field of ADCs in gynecologic cancers, focusing on ADCs targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα), mesothelin, tissue factor, MUC16 (CA125), NaPi2B, and Trop2.

02:50Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

01:16Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
01:28Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
