Discovery & Development of a New ADC
CARBOGEN AMCIS & Heidelberg Pharma Formula for Successful Collaboration

During the BOS Basel, on the 08 June 2022, Heidelberg Pharma (Dr. Christan Lutz) and CARBOGEN AMCIS (Dr. Thomas Schlatterer) held a presentation about their collaboration and the ADC development. The cyclic peptide α-Amanitin and analogue amatoxins have been investigated for over sixty years mostly by extraction from death cap mushrooms of the species Amanita phalloides. α-Amanitin is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II. Despite such exceptional biological activity and pharmacological potential, the total synthesis of α-Amanitin and related compounds still remain a very challenging task, due to unique structural features.
